Our Journey Through Time

Founded in 1985, Summit Christian Academy began as a small initiative by a group of dedicated parents and educators committed to providing a classical Christian education. Over the years, the academy has grown, embracing a curriculum that integrates faith and learning, nurturing students to excel academically and spiritually. Our mission is to cultivate a love for learning and a heart for service in each student.

From our humble beginnings in Yorktown, VA, we have expanded our facilities and programs, offering a comprehensive education from K4 to 12th grade. Key milestones include the establishment of our high school program in 1995 and the construction of our state-of-the-art science and technology center in 2010. Our commitment to academic excellence and Christian values remains steadfast, guiding our students to become leaders in their communities.
