The Summit Academy provides the highest standards of American independent schools. Essential elements of its educational program include a comprehensive curriculum, a gifted staff, and a low student-to-teacher ratio. These elements ensure that each student obtains the kind of individualized education that only an independent, college preparatory school can provide. The school is dedicated to fostering a climate of respect, both for academic excellence and for human dignity, and to affording an opportunity for personal growth. We believe that education is a process of transferring to the student the responsibility for his or her education through self-discipline and intellectual curiosity. We believe in a full and enriched curriculum that not only emphasizes the basic skills, but also recognizes the importance of music, the visual and performing arts, and physical education. It is equally important for Summit Academy students to be well-rounded in that they are confident and emotionally intelligent. The school is fundamentally committed to maintaining a coeducational student body that is representative of the International Community of Qatar. Consequently, the school is open to all qualified students regardless of race, color, or creed.
