School Programs
Our goal is to set a foundation for learning that will assist the children throughout their academic lives. Our students are encouraged to become as autonomous as possible. This is accomplished by providing an exceptional teaching staff and creating a very unique environment. In each of our three separate learning areas (free choice, art, and movement/music) we emphasize; decision making, (choosing activities), and competency (being able to engage in any activity from beginning to end.)

All Programs Extended Hours: 7:45 am-5:30 pm

Nursery Program

Afternoon Enrichment
Summer Hill is offering a new program option for students entering the public school. Public school children can be bussed here from their public school program for an afternoon enrichment program and or extended care. Cris Pasterchick, our Head Teacher, will be offering a specially designed enrichment program focusing on science, social studies, advanced mathematics, and reading.

Older children receive tutoring and assistance with homework in addition to music, art and computer activities.
