Testimonials

I want to say how much we love New Summit Charter! We can truly see how intentional the teachers and staff are with the kids; we’ve had such a positive experience.

We Love New Summit Charter!

NSCA has brilliant values that can be seen in all aspects of the school, and yet they take extra care of anyone having IEP’s or 504’s to make sure all children are focused on, not just the high performers.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit understands the limitations of younger kids while still patiently pushing them and motivating them to improve their skills.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Putting my kids in NSCA is hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made! I’m so thankful for such a great school.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

The staff and teachers are amazing and they made us feel at home from day one. We love the school culture and everything they stand for. Wonderful facilities, clean and inviting, nice playground, great location, stellar reviews, incredible teachers, great school all around!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit was and still is the best choice for our children. The school is only about 4 years old and the facilities are still new and well maintained. The curriculum is outstanding. The teachers and staff are friendly and approachable and what we loved most is that we always knew what the kids were doing or learning at school because their teachers sent updates on a weekly basis. We love this school and are recommending it to our friends wholeheartedly!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Our daughter has loved the friendly and loving community at NSCA. I love that we see what she is learning/reading on almost a daily basis, giving affirmation and dialogue material for parents.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Amazing school, fantastic staff, wonderful school culture, and an environment that truly fosters a love of learning.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

We have enjoyed the love and attention New Summit has provided our children. In that environment, they have flourished both emotionally and educationally. New Summit is home while they are away from home, and I’m so thankful I’ve never had to question their safety or comfort while learning.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Everything about New Summit embodies its core values and mission. It’s easy for a school to make statements about what it believes and strives to accomplish, but very difficult for it to follow through, especially these days. NSCA follows through in every aspect – from amazing teachers to responsive, focused administration! The teachers and administrators truly care about the development and success of every child, both academically and personally. NSCA offers top-notch education and a safe, caring environment. I’m so glad I chose to send my children here!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Everyone knows who my son is, and they look forward to seeing his smile.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

It is the best elementary school in the city!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit genuinely cares about the students well being as much as they do their education.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

What can I say? We have been with the school since my son started Kindergarten. He’s now in third grade. Each teacher we have had has been super dedicated to the school’s philosophy and to educating our kids. We have our daughter starting in the fall, and we are all so excited to see what she will do! We are so impressed! Thank you for truly loving our kids!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

My son has made some incredible friends at New Summit. We are thankful for them and the staff who cares about the students.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

My son felt like a failure with no friends last year at our old school, to now getting all A’s and tons of friends at New Summit. His confidence has grown so much, and he even applied for student government. He’s made great friends and never wants to miss a day of school! Thank you, New Summit, for bringing out the BEST In my 6th grader!!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit is perfect for that student that needs a little extra support and a more comfortable and smaller learning environment with fewer outside influences such as bullying and disrespect.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit is a unique place for children since all of their needs are met by all of the staff.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit has been a remarkable school for my kids, and we are truly blessed to be part of the NSCA family.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit was the best decision we ever made for our daughter. Smaller class sizes, the block schedule, and the true dedication of the teachers and staff helped her become more confident and improve academically and socially. I wish there were a high school!!!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit Charter Academy truly cares about meeting kids’ and parents’ needs. I feel heard by the staff with ideas and concerns. The best thing is my daughter loves coming to school not only to see friends but to learn too.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit really cares for its students and wants them to succeed!

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit is a step up from the traditional public schools. With its emphasis on a traditional curriculum and teaching the whole child through Capturing Kids Hearts, they provide the kind of education that has been pushed aside in favor of trendy but largely irrelevant topics in education.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

New Summit has great core values and focuses on the importance of community.

NSCA Parent Survey Response

Love the support we have gotten from teachers and staff!

Anji

Great school the teachers are awesome and my daughter absolutely loves it there.

Robert

We have been very happy with our experience at NSCA. My daughter used to come home in tears after school last year from ourour neighborh school. She did not feel listened to when she told her teacher about someone bullying her and the teacher made them sit next to each other so year. This year she comes home happy. She still has girls in her class that are not very nice to her but she feels like her teacher will listen to her and help her get through the issues at the time they happen. Staff is extremely pleasant and very concerned with kid safety! Teachers stand outside with their students until they are all picked up. They check to see who is picking up the kids, they help little ones with doors and backpacks. They do a great job of directing traffic for pick up and drop off.

Melissa

Love this school, staff is so caring for the students and my Kindergartener comes home enthusiastic about what he has learned everyday! Thoroughly would recommend this school!

Adrianna

We love NSCA, my child is about to finish her kindergarten year here and we can’t wait to return next year. The staff truly loves and cares for the children. Before we enrolled and the school was even open Mrs. Reissig gave me her phone number and spent an hour answering my questions and informing me how New Summit was going to be different. I was already 99% sure we were going to attend. It was meeting Mrs. Mclelland that pushed us that 1%! She sealed the deal for us for sure. Her vision for the school matched exactly what I wanted for my daughter! In the middle of the year there were some changes and sadly a couple teachers were let go, my daughter’s teacher quit and the PTO was “rebranded” so to say. Through all of this the administration was very transparent and open and willing to answer any questions. They also made my daughter’s transition to a new teacher seamless. My daughter loves going to school and her least favorite part is leaving. She loves her teacher and her fellow students. Thank you NSCA for a great first year!

Kara

This school and it’s staff is starting off incredibly well given the hurdles it has had to overcome to get up and running. It is my plan to have all of my children attend this school.

TG

I’ve been involved with NSCA since its beginning phases and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My kids love going to school there. They love learning. And I can see how much they’re growing as people every day.

Tami

I had heard of New Summit from my neighbor, but hadn’t looked into it myself until months later. Once I attended an Open House I was sold! A classical approach to education, focus on literacy, and placing students with their *skill level* vs. grade level had me hooked. I currently homeschool my three youngest children for a multitude of reasons, but I feel as though many of those will dissolve with New Summit as their school. I’m incredibly excited and thoroughly impressed by the choices in curriculum (Core Knowledge and Singapore Math), as well at the planned teaching of cursive. I also love the emphasis on teaching character through our historical figures, and learning to love learning. The more I learn about our new school the more our decision to send our kids there solidifies.

Billie Jo

While it has been slightly disorganized beginning, we are positive that the future of this school will be amazing. They have been wonderful in their communication about everything and *most* of us understand that the 1st year of anything is going to be confusing. They care so much about the kids and their families and we will all happy to have patience and grace during this time!

Chelle

I have been so impressed with NSCA. I have a 5th and 1st grader. The staff all go above and beyond to make the kids feel loved and accepted. It has been a huge blessing to be a part of this school and look forward to many years to come. They have worked through the bumps and trials that come with a new school with professionalism, perseverance and joy. The communication throughout the process has been open, honest and timely.

Michelle

My 3rd and 5th graders are loving their new school! Great learning environment, and the staff are willing to help anyway they can. The staff has been wonderful. Thank you for the start of a great year.

Lori

I believe in surrounding my daughters with people who have the same character strengths and virtues as our family. New Sunmit Charter Academy has just that. Not only is the curriculum top notch, but the teachers, staff, students and families are as well. I want my kids to not only have the best education but to surround them with strong teachers and friends.

Stacy

My son is Autistic and he loves this school, and his teacher Mrs. Delaney. The school has been nothing but supportive of his learning struggles, as well as his emotional and social needs. We live in District 2- but I make the drive daily to make sure where my son is enrolled- is what is best for him and his needs- and we couldn’t have chosen better than New Summit.

Gus

Our family feels so blessed to have found NSCA. My kids are happy and truly enjoy school. The teachers are top notch! The principal and assistant principal are amazing and truly have a heart for kids. We are so thankful to be a part of this amazing school!

Erin

So far our experience at NSCA had been amazing. We know there will always be things to work out at any school, let alone a brand new school, but I think the staff has handled this with grace. My daughter has been able to overcome some of her anxiety and has made a ton of friends in just a short period of time. We are excited about the future as a New Summit family.

Sharon

New Summit Charter Academy is the best thing to happen in District 20 in many years! It is an incredible school with an even more incredible staff that loves kids with everything they’ve got. I whole heartedly recommend this fantastic place!

Jonathan

My children love attending NSCA. My daughter said she loves math for the first time in years. My son is excited about reading! The overall school culture is astounding and I love that there is a focus on character. The teachers are knowledgeable and polite and the admin always makes time to give affirmations and offer help and guidance.

Art

We love New Summit Charter Academy and are thrilled with our decision to move our children there. The staff is kind and they go out of their way to show their students they care. Staff members, including the Principal, are at the doors every morning, welcome students as they enter and giving them a high-five. Our children feel welcome and loved which the most important thing to us. If you see any negative reviews, please know that we disagree wholeheartedly and ask you to reach out to the school before believing them.

Tresa

My grandchildren are enrolled in New Summit and love it. The student to teacher ratio is small giving time for more individual attention. The teachers are upbeat and positive. The children are allowed to learn from mistakes by dealing with consequences. After 25 years of teaching Special Ed in a traditional school I am very encouraged at the quality of education my grandchildren will get at New Summit. Thanks to the Principal and her group of hard working volunteers we have a better choice for our children’s education.

Pat

Our son is enrolled at New Summit Charter Academy. He is currently in Grade 1 and he absolutely loves his school! Recently he had a doctors appointment in the morning and he was quite upset because he had to miss an hour of school. This is rare! Most kids I know, would love to miss school. But New Summit is such an amazing school, with wonderful teachers and staff. Our son is learning some sign language from his teacher, he has Spanish, Art and Music classes too. Our daughter is in the preschool attached to the school and she can’t wait to start Kinder next year. I love the small-town feel of the school, the love our teachers and staff have for the kids and how inclusive it is. Truly a great experience!

Lisl

New Summit Charter Academy is an incredible place for children to be. In 13 years of working with schools, agencies, and other professionals to get a child’s needs met I have never seen such an incredible organization work in the best interests of kids the way that New Summit does. The staff go above and beyond to fight for and alongside kids. Kids are taught what character is and that emotions are okay. Students are given life skills alongside books skills that will make them successful! I can’t imagine a better place for kids of Colorado Springs to be!

Cortnie

We are so happy with New Summit!! We were on the fence about having our son start kindergarten this year as he has a late birthday. We had numerous opportunities to talk with the principal and vice-principal prior to starting. They made us feel so welcomed and put us at ease about every thing. It got even better once he started. He is in Mrs. Tuning’s class and absolutely loves her! He is learning so much and has been grouped into a group of kids who are at the same skill level. He loves going to school each day and loves his classmates! We are thrilled!! Thank you to all the special teachers and administrators who have made this school such an amazing place to be! We are so Thankful!!!!

Sara

So far this has been an amazing school. It’s always hard making a choice to change schools especially to go into a brand new school just starting. So far the school has gone great both of the kids are happy there. All of the staff I have met have been very friendly. I’m very impressed with the curriculum they use. I love that they have many choices for uniforms and are more open on the policy than one shirt one pant. Very happy these first few months.

Chelsea

The staff is so kind and helpful they have handled opening a new school with grace and poise. My daughter loves school and loves her teacher so much. She said she has the nicest teacher ever . Just in a short time the teacher has had such an impact on my daughter that she wanted to buy her teacher a gift with her own piggy bank money. This was all her idea and she used her own money to do so this is huge! The principal is amazing she is kind and wonderful! I have never in my life felt so comfortable and happy with a principal of a school. Thank you for being so wonderful and kind and warm and open to all the students! The school has exceeded my expectations and some! It’s is always hard to start a new school there is so many things to figure out and learn. We need to continue to have grace and give our full support to this amazing school and their wonderful staff!!

Diana

My family has been a part of New Summit since it opened 3 years ago. There are so many things I appreciate about NSCA. The teachers are incredibly supportive and genuinely care about my child and ALL children. Each teacher has rallied around my child to ensure she gets the help she needs as she struggles academically. When you walk in the building the atmosphere is welcoming, fun, and you are met with smiling faces. The administration team has gone above and beyond to create a culture where students know they are loved and respected. The teaching staff truly captures the hearts of the students and are intentional about getting to know their students. I truly appreciate this and love this the most about NSCA. The entire staff make NSCA what it is and I encourage people to check it out for themselves. I also love all the fun spirit days; the staff always cracks me up with their creativity. I highly recommend this school.

Michelle

We have been at NSCA since the beginning and have nothing but good things to say about the school!! I have 5th and 1st grade daughters and they both love to go to school! The staff is super nice and fun. Would recommend this school to anyone!!

Petra

I reviewed the school previously right before it opened. We’ve been there through the whole journey and my son will be finishing 5th grade this year and my daughter will be finishing 1st. 3 years and we still have nothing but good things to say. Both my kids love going to school and we love the whole-child approach. No school is perfect, but New Summit is pretty close!

Kathryn

We have been at New Summit for three years now and have been so blessed by the teachers and staff there. They all have a desire to see each student have a love of learning! I have personally seen the teachers go above and beyond to meet individual student needs.
