New Summit is a non-profit, tuition-free, public charter school in Academy School District 20 serving families with kids ages 3 and up within and around school districts 11, 20, and 49, as well as the Briargate area.
Our school opened grades K-6 on August 22, 2018, with over 500 students. Each year, we have added a grade and now offer grades K-8. We hope to apply for a high school to be added in the future. The Xfinity Center next door is our school gym as well as a place for students to play sports.
New Summit Charter Academy also offers preschool for children ages 3-5 to help with kindergarten readiness. Full-day kindergarten is offered for parents who want this choice for their child along with Before and After School Care to help working families.

Small Class Sizes
Our class sizes are a max of 20 in Kindergarten, 22 in first grade, and 25 in grades 3rd-8th.

Incredible Staff
Our staff have quite a bit of combined experience. They are loving, flexible, and ready to be there for each student.

Amazing Community
We are not just a school, we are a community. We support our families and small businesses in the Colorado Springs area.

Literacy First
Literacy First is a pillar of New Summit Charter Academy. We understand that in order for a child to access all subjects, he/she must know how to read. This creates a love of learning.

Character Education
At New Summit, we are building a positive school culture through Character Education and Capturing Kids’ Hearts by The Flippen Group to be an immersive, participatory experience.

Classical Education
Classical Education is a process of training the mind. The early years of school are spent absorbing facts, laying the foundations for advanced study. In the middle grades, students learn to think through arguments. This classical pattern is called the trivium.
