Letter from the Principal

Welcome to the Summit-Questa Montessori School website. We are thrilled that you have chosen to glimpse a view of life at Summit-Questa. We are a unique community of Montessori educators, parents, children, and friends dedicated to the philosophy of Dr. Maria Montessori...

Summit-Questa is affiliated with the American Montessori Society and is the site of a fully accredited Montessori teacher training center. In addition, the school is fully accredited by AISF, AdvancED/SACS, MSA, NCPSA and Ai.

What makes Summit-Questa unique is multifaceted. We are an interactive community which values everyone’s voice and contributions. Our 10-acre campus supports a hands-on outdoor environmental program surrounded by nature and wildlife — truly an oasis in the middle of a concrete world.

Our exceptional staff — many with over a decade of service — and nationally certified Montessori teachers provide a nurturing and academically strong environment where students thrive without the stress of excessive testing. Our students consistently rank among the top 1–25% in the nation.

In addition to a robust Montessori curriculum, students enjoy sports, foreign languages, music, drama, art, two swimming pools, and a 6,000 sq. ft. gym. We’re proud to offer a space where children can explore, grow, and discover their gifts at their own pace.

My mission is to ensure every student feels valued, safe, challenged, and supported. Each child has a unique gift — our job is to help it shine. We graduate confident, capable, respectful young leaders ready to take on the world.

Thank you for visiting. I invite you to schedule a tour, meet our staff, and see for yourself the extraordinary education we offer at Summit-Questa.

Sincerely,

Judy Dempsey
