Intro/History
The purpose of Summit Christian School is to provide a traditional Christian education founded on the principle that
Jesus Christ is our Savior and the source of all truth. We expand this principle and show students from
six weeks of age to twelfth grade how this truth can be applied to all facets of life (as well as their education)
and encourage them to receive Him as Lord.

Summit Christian School Ministers to Children from 6 weeks of age (Preschool) to 12th Grade.

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.

The Purpose of Summit Christian School is:
  • 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

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 large 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.

We dedicated our gymnasium/multipurpose building, entitled The Enochs Center in April of 2003. This facility houses offices, a conference room, locker rooms, classrooms, and a beautiful gymnasium which is used for athletics, assemblies, and programs.

A revised site plan, which incorporates another 9+ acres to the east of the property and the master plan is nearing its completion totaling 26+ acres on the grounds. The future of Summit Christian School is filled with excitement as the Lord continues to open doors and lead our pathway.

  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)

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).

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.

The school strives to achieve a level of academic excellence which will enable the graduate to be well prepared for whatever future he may choose, whether it would be further training in college or in vocational aspirations.

SCS is fully accredited by the Florida Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (FACCS), the American Association of Christian Schools (AACS), and is a member of the National Council for Private School Accreditation (NCPSA) and Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA).

Our faculty members maintain the highest standards of excellence. All are certified through FACCS and they attend seminars and enrichment programs throughout the year to continue their educational growth such as the Philosophy of Education Course and local college master degree programs. They are dedicated to providing a caring, Christian environment to nurture the spirit as well as the mind.
