ALMA MATER
/ SCHOOL SONG
Through the years at Summit Christian
Conquering saints we’ll be
That the world and those around us
Jesus Christ may see
(Chorus)
Summit Christian, Summit Christian
Colors blue and gold
As we live in dedication
To this truth we’ll hold
Holding Forth the Word of God
Sounding out His praise
May our Savior be uplifted
With our voices raise (Chorus) |

Summit Christian
School History
Summit Christian School opened its doors under the name of
New Hope Christian Academy in September of 1972, and has
been in continuous operation since that time. In February of
1974, Calvary Baptist Church purchased and began operating
the school. The school’s name was changed to Summit
Christian School in August of 1974, and is now it’s own
501(C)(3) entity.
In 1987, the school purchased an additional three and
one-half acres contiguous to the existing ten-acre campus to
allow for future growth. In 1989, the
preschool
was enlarged and
 expanded
to include infants (six-week-olds) through children three
years of age. This program is housed in our beautiful 10,500
square foot Preschool Center, located on the west side of
the campus. It can accommodate over 200 children of this age
group.
In February of 1994, property was purchased on the corner of
Haverhill Road and Summit Boulevard (over 4 acres), bringing
the total campus size to nearly 19 acres.
The Enochs Center, our gymnasium / multipurpose building, in
April of 2003. This facility houses classrooms on the upper
level and a beautiful gymnasium used for athletics, chapels,
assemblies and programs.
In the near future, Summit has plans which includes future
upgrades such as a 3 story classroom building, additional
land, paving, a recreational building and athletic field
space. This site plan is incorporated into a capital
campaign designed to move the school to the next level of
excellence. The future of Summit Christian School continues
to progress as the Lord opens doors and leads our pathway.
Prayerfully consider how you can be a part of the growth and
advancement of the school. |

Christian Because
Summit Christian School is a private, non-denominational,
not-for-profit Christian School. The purpose of Summit
Christian School is to provide a distinctive quality
Christian education founded on the principle that Jesus is
our Savior and the source of all truth. We expand this
principle and show how this truth can be applied in all
facets of life.
In every subject, the instructors attempt to show the Lord’s
place - in history, science, math, English, etc. In history,
man is viewed as God’s creation whose past actions can only
be interpreted as being right or wrong in light of man’s
greatest history book - the Bible. Science, too, starts with
man’s origin and presents God’s creation in six literal
twenty-four hour days as the only intelligent beginning.
Some basic concepts of God cannot really be understood until
the study of math is undertaken. In geometry, a circle
illustrates God in that it has no beginning and no end. In
English, death can be viewed by a Christian as a comma - a
short pause with more to come, not as the final punctuation
mark, the period. The Bible is taught in every grade with an
emphasis on the lost state of man and man’s need for
salvation and continued growth in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christian Philosophy
Christian philosophy sees all things in their relationship
to Jesus Christ. Truth can be fully known and rightly
understood only in the light of its relationship to God in
Christ, for in Him, who is Truth, are hidden all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge. God gives evidence of
Himself in His works, for “...of Him, and through Him, and
to Him are all things...” (Romans 11:36) Therefore, a study
of “all things” in light of God’s revelation is the crux of
a Christian philosophy of education. |
Purpose
-
To lead students to receive Jesus as Lord
and Savior
-
To assist parents to provide a Christian
Education for their children spiritually,
morally, physically, academically and
socially to the highest degree of his/her
capabilities under God
-
To encourage children and parents to become
rightly related to the ministry of a local
Bible believing evangelical church

Statement of Faith
In order to give a clear understanding of the fundamentals
of the Christian faith for which Summit Christian
without
exception stands, we include in this handbook our “Statement
of Faith.”
-
We
believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible,
inerrant, authoritative Word of God. (II Tim. 3:16)
-
We
believe there is one God, eternally existent in
three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Gen.
1:1; John 10:30; John 4:24)
-
We
believe in the Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ (John
10:33); in His virgin birth (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23;
Luke 1:35); in His sinless life (Heb. 4:15, 7:25);
in His miracles (John 2:11); in His vicarious and
atoning death through His shed blood (Eph. 1:7; Col.
1:14); in His bodily resurrection (John 11:25); in
His ascension to the right hand of the Father (Acts
1:11); and in His personal, imminent return in power
and glory. (Rev. 18:11-16)
-
We
believe that all men are sinful by nature (Rom.
3:23; 5:8) and as such at enmity with God and
therefore regeneration by the Holy Spirit is
absolutely essential to their salvation. (Rom. 3:19)
-
We
believe that men are justified on the single ground
of faith in the shed blood of Jesus Christ and that
only by God’s grace through faith alone are we
saved. (Acts 13:38-39)
-
We
believe that Satan is a person and that hell is a
place of eternal conscious punishment of all
unsaved. (Job 1:6-7; Matt. 25:46) (Rev. 20:14-15)
-
We
believe that the Holy Spirit convicts of sin, makes
believers children of God through the new birth,
assuring them of heaven, and by His indwelling
enables Christians to live a godly life. (John 16:8;
I Cor. 3:16; I Cor. 12:13)
-
We
believe in the resurrection of both the saved and
the lost; the saved unto the resurrection of life
and they that are lost unto the resurrection of
damnation. (John 5:28-29)
-
We
believe that the Body of Christ consists only of
those who are born again (John 3:3), for whom Christ
now makes intercession in heaven (Heb. 7:25), and
for whom He shall return. (John 14:3)
-
We
believe in Christ’s “Great Commission” to the Church
to go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature, baptizing and teaching those who
believe. (Matthew 28:19 - 20)

Responsibility
of Parents and Students
It is extremely important that each student
and parent be familiar with the policies and
practices that are in existence at Summit
Christian School. The
Parent-Student Handbook has been prepared
with the purpose of serving as a guide to
school officials, students, and parents. If
the contents of this handbook are known, and
the guidelines followed by all, the school
will function smoothly and efficiently.
Therefore, a lack of knowledge will not
excuse a student from their responsibilities
of obeying.
Parents are expected to support and uphold
school policies. When a parent openly
demonstrates to students or other parents a
lack of support for school policies, it can
be counterproductive to the student’s
development and the school’s positive
intent, thereby hindering its effectiveness.
With harmony, the result will increase
academic achievement and a greater degree of
satisfaction for all.
We realize that the handbook may not cover
every issue that may arise. If, at any time,
disagreements develop between the school and
the home, it becomes the obligation of both
to resolve these in a Biblical fashion: that
of going directly to the parties involved
for clarification and explanation. A basic
rule of thumb is to keep in mind; Right Time
- Right Place - Right Sp irit. SCS has chosen
their teachers and staff for their Christian
commitment and high ideals; however, this
does not make them immune from human error.
All suggestions and comments are welcomed
and encouraged for the overall strengthening
of the school.
Our
commitment to you as we partner
with our parents in the
education of their children is to provide
competent teachers, a full and balanced
curriculum and communication with the home.
We ask that you would be committed to school
meetings and actively support other school
sponsored activities, realizing that
parental participation is critical to the
health and well being of the school.
In His Service,
Sam
Skelton
