About Summit Classical School
Summit Classical School is a public classical charter school that opened in Clinton, SC in fall of 2019. Enrollment is now open for the 2021-2022 school year for 5K-5th grades. We opened with kindergarten through third grades and will add a grade each following year. We offer a classical education using the Core Knowledge curriculum.
What is Classical Education?
Classical education depends on a three-part process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent in absorbing facts, systematically laying the foundations for advanced study. In the middle grades, students learn to think through arguments. In the high school years, they learn to express themselves. This classical pattern is called the trivium.

The Vision Was Born
Conversations about our children and the kind of education that we want for them is what sparked us to pursue starting a charter school. We all want a school that fits the needs of our children and the desires of our families. School choice is something that we feel is very important for parents. We have choices for everything else, why shouldn’t we have choices when it comes to our children’s education?
