At The Summit, we believe in transparency. That’s why we’ve outlined our tuition information in detail. We believe strongly in the value of the independent education our students receive. Each student’s tuition goes towards maintaining and expanding our state of the art facilities, retaining our highly-qualified, incredible group of teachers and staff, and allowing for the general development of our school and its range of educational programming.

The Summit is also committed to encouraging socioeconomic diversity within its Springfield, MO community. We believe this diversity enriches the educational experience for all. Participation of families with various socioeconomic backgrounds in our independent curriculum is essential to the health of the school and its students. Because of this commitment, the school offers a range of tuition rates depending on each family’s financial situation. These varying rates can accommodate lower, middle, and upper income families.

Every Summit family is expected to contribute to the successful operation and growth of the school at a level that corresponds with their financial circumstances.

The Raven Experience Fund – All Summit families are encouraged to make a meaningful donation to The Raven Experience Fund, an annual giving campaign that provides funds to support our personalized educational experience. Gifts to The Raven Experience Fund limit our reliance on tuition and help us sustain the unique approach to education that can only be found at The Summit. These gifts have an immediate and direct benefit to each student and faculty member, as well as to the quality and range of all school programs.
Volunteering – Parental involvement is encouraged and necessary for school-wide events and functions. These opportunities are communicated and managed either directly with school administration or by The Summit Parent Organization (SPO). Each family is asked to support at least four of the annual activities/events. Volunteers are required to undergo a background check and attend volunteer training.
