The Summit Country Day School, located at 2161 Grandin Road, offers the same belief as it has since the school’s inception by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1890 – ‘to teach is to influence a child forever.’ Located just five minutes from downtown Cincinnati SCD delivers an extraordinary educational experience, serving children starting at 18-months and continuing through high school. The Summit is a co-educational, Catholic, private, independent, and college-preparatory educational institution.
Driving through the gates of Summit Country, you will find a mixture of the present which is accented by the historic. The Schiff Family Circle, located in the front of the main building, is an impressive brick-laid entranceway to the school. Not only does it serve as a drop-off and pick-up point for Upper School students, it ahs been used for Masses and other outdoor events.
Adjacent to the circle is the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel. Designed with the dignity and ceremony of religious processions associated with church traditions, this magnificent structure features flying buttresses supporting Gothic Revival arches, and the main altar is made of Carrara marble and Mexican onyx. Other artistic features include stained glass windows crafted in Munich, Germany and the ends of each pew which were hand-carved by the early Sisters. The chapel is used for masses, weddings, and graduation ceremonies.
From the Toddler Program (18-to-36 months) through the 12th grade, the Summit instills its Five Pillar Mission & Philosophy of developing students spiritually, academically, physically, socially, and artistically. This includes a Montessori pre-school model and a 13-year world language program. The Summit offers a three-season athletics program, featuring 20 varsity teams in grades 7-12. Summit offers four million dollars annually in financial aid to 40% of the student body.

The Summit has provided my children the preparation they needed to succeed in college. The writing department is one of the best and prepared them for all the papers they were writing in college.

Alum currently at a top college (ACT 33, GPA 4.4), and Summit couldn't have prepared me better. If your intention is to prepare your child to succeed in the competitive world of college academia at a top university, no better place than Summit. Seven Hills and CCD just simply do not have the resources or scale to have roughly 30ish students each year getting top test score e.g. 30+ on the ACT all taking the same AP classes constantly battling and collaborating for top grades. An incubator for high level academic success.
3/1/2022
The school provided a good education and good opportunities that I may not otherwise have been able to explore. Some particular requirements were a little frustrating, but ultimately it was an alright experience.
