A Common Humanity, a Rich Community
The Summit is Cincinnati’s only Catholic, coeducational, independently private school, serving children from age two in Montessori preschool through grade 12. We are a multicultural community that enjoys all the blessings and benefits of diversity with a student body representing a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnic cultures, religious affiliations and nationalities. Mindful that we are all God’s children, The Summit welcomes all who wish to learn and grow as spiritual beings.
Approximately 33% of our student body is non-Catholic. Ethnic minorities comprise about 18% of our student population. We have attracted first- and second-generation families from more than 30 countries into our multinational community. We attract students from throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Each year, more than 130 new students enroll from other private, public and international schools. To ensure that The Summit’s excellent educational opportunities are available to all, financial aid is available to qualified families whose children are in grades 7 through 12.
The combined contributions from these different voices, as well as the rich and varied perspectives and experiences they share, help foster a level of sensitivity and awareness that cannot be achieved solely through academic study. As a community, we acknowledge our similarities and celebrate our differences, which help to prepare our students for the diverse world they will inhabit.
