Background
The Summit Country Day School is a private, Catholic, co-ed school in Cincinnati. Its Montessori preschool celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013 and is one of a few schools in Greater Cincinnati to offer academic instruction to children as young as age two. Founded in 1890 by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the school is now operated by an independent board of trustees. Originally only a school for girls, it has expanded over the years to include boys' enrollment and an athletic program.
The school's signature Character Education Program immerses students at each grade level in a yearlong reflection on one character trait, in the belief that school should not only educate the mind, but the whole person.
In 2006, the average tuition was $13,000. Currently it enrolls about 1,200 students from pre-K through 12th grade.
The Summit graduates 100% of its senior class and has a 100% college acceptance rate. Over 90% of graduates attend their first choice college.
Summit's main building, designed by architect Edwin Forrest Durang, was first constructed in 1890, then renovated in 1930. In 1960 the school added a primary school building. The Upper School began admitting boys in 1973, and in 1996, along with renovations to all campus buildings and the construction of a new middle school building, combined the boys' and girls' middle schools. In 2003 Summit began another project at an estimated initial cost of $20 million to renovate many sections of the school, and build a new stadium, parking lot, and lower school.
Headmaster Ed Tyrell retired in 2003 after 33 years of service to the Summit. Current Head of School is Mr. Rich Wilson.[1]
Clubs and activities
The Summit Country Day Latin Club functions as a local chapter of both the Ohio Junior Classical League (OJCL)[7] and National Junior Classical League (NJCL).[8]
Summit Country Day holds the distinction of being the first Latin club to win the OJCL Convention state title after nearly three decades of consecutive wins from rival Stow-Munroe Falls.[9] Prior to Summit's 2007 win, no other OJCL Latin Club had won the Overall Sweepstakes trophy since 1979 (the start of Stow's 28-year win streak).[9] Summit went on to win the top prize again in 2009 and 2010.[7]
Three students attending Summit currently hold three positions in the OJCL state officer board:[citation needed]
- Tino Delamerced, Secretary (2012-2013) and President (2013-2014)
Athletics
The Summit fields varsity sports teams in 19 sports. Although the teams of the old boys' middle school took the name "Hawks", Summit's teams are now known as the "Silver Knights."
