Welcome to Summit Paideia Academy

What is paideia?

“Paideia” is a Greek word meaning the training and formation of the whole person—mind, heart, and character. In Ephesians 6:4, Scripture calls parents to “bring up [their children] in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” This biblical vision of education is the foundation of Summit Paideia Academy.

Our Hybrid Model: A Collaborative Approach

We partner with families to provide structured, high-quality education while equipping parents as the primary educators of their children. Our model blends classroom instruction with at-home learning for a balanced, flexible approach.

• In-Class Days (2 Days/Week) – Students engage in rich discussions, hands-on activities, and direct instruction from experienced teachers.

• At-Home Days (3 Days/Week) – Parents facilitate structured lessons using provided plans, reinforcing concepts taught in class.

Designed for families seeking more than a traditional co-op, our program provides a comprehensive curriculum and dedicated in-person instruction two days a week, ensuring students receive high-quality guidance in core subjects while fostering meaningful and lifelong peer connections. The remaining three days are spent at home where parent teachers oversee assigned coursework that reinforces in class concepts.

Join us in reimagining education—where home and school work together in harmony.

Our Approach

Partnering with parents + shaping hearts and minds.

At Summit Paideia Academy, we believe that parents are the God-given primary educators of their children. Our role is to come alongside families, equipping them with a rich and time-tested approach to education that nurtures both the heart and the mind.

Rooted in the Classical model, our curriculum aligns with the natural stages of a child’s development, fostering strong thinking, communication, and reasoning skills. We integrate Charlotte Mason’s principles, bringing delight, joy, and wonder into learning through living books, nature study, and an appreciation for beauty.

Our family-style classrooms and parallel core studies create a unique learning environment. All of our students engage with the same historical time period, literary themes, and scientific fields. This deepens family relationships and lightens some of the academic load for parents during at-home days. Our elementary program divides children into lower elementary & upper elementary classes. Younger students learn from their older peers, while older students grow in leadership as they nurture, guide, and assist those who are younger.

At Summit Paideia Academy, education is not just about knowledge—it is about cultivating wisdom, virtue, and a love for learning that will last a lifetime.
