The Summit Country Day School educates students from preschool through high school in its Montessori, Primary, Middle School and Upper School divisions. It is a private, Catholic, independent high school located in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Background

The Summit was founded in 1890 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. However, there are currently no nuns of that order teaching there. Originally only a school for girls, it has expanded over the years to include boys enrollment, an athletic program, and a 100% college acceptance rate. They have implemented a nationally recognized character education program by the belief that school should not only educate the mind, but the whole person. Summit's success has earned it recognition as one of the best independent, Roman Catholic day schools in the country. In 2006, their tuition averaged $13,000. Currently it enrolls about 1,300 students from pre-K through 12th grade.

The Summit graduates 100% of its senior class and over 90% attend their first choice college. This factor, combined with others, gives the Upper School the reputation as one of the best in the city of Cincinnati.

Summit's main building, designed by architect Edwin Forrest Durang, was first constructed in 1890, then renovated in 1930. In 1960 the school added a primary school building. The school began admitting males in 1973, and in 1996, along with renovations to all campus buildings and the construction of a new middle school building, combined the boys' and girls' middle schools. In 2003 Summit began another project at an estimated initial cost of $20 million to renovate many sections of the school, build a new stadium, parking lot, and lower school. Headmaster Ed Tyrell retired in 2003 after 33 years of service to the Summit. Current Head of School is Mr. Jerry Jellig.

Clubs and activities

The Summit Country Day Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[2] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[3]

Summit Country Day holds the distinction of being the first latin club to win the OJCL Convention state title after nearly three decades of consecutive wins from rival Stow-Munroe Falls.[4] Prior to Summit's 2007 win, no other OJCL Latin Club had won the Overall Sweepstakes trophy since 1979 (the start of Stow's 28-year win streak).[4] Summit went on to win the top prize again in 2009 and 2010.[5]

Athletics

The Summit fields varsity sports teams in 19 sports. Although the teams of the old boys' middle school took the name "Hawks", Summit's teams are now known as the "Silver Knights."
