Summit Christian Academy

SCA is pleased to recognize students who consistently exhibit exceptional Christian character through the Christian Character Award program! The purpose of this award is to encourage students to pursue their potential toward attaining the highest level of personal and academic development, as well as Christian character. The achievement of Christian Character at SCA is one of the most prestigious recognitions within the school.

SCA announced the 2026 Elementary Christian Character Students of the Year: second grade student Mateo Mesa and sixth grade student Ellie Wedgeworth!

Nineteen of our ninety 2026 graduates were part of the SCA family from Kindergarten all the way through Senior year!

From learning to read, to walking across the graduation stage together, these students have grown up side-by-side. They journeyed through the Elementary building together, competed in the Field House & Activity Center that opened in 2023, and even got to be the first to experience the new turf additions at the Fields of Dreams during their senior year! These students grew together over the years, and also grew alongside SCA itself.

We are so grateful to have been part of their journey for all 13 years and can’t wait to see where God leads each of them next!

Happy 10-Year anniversary to the Class of 2016!

Happy 10-Year anniversary to SCA's class of 2016!
Several members of the class met up recently to look eat, pray, look through old yearbooks, meet one another's families, and get some new SCA Alumni gear.
Once an Eagle, always an Eagle!

Congratulations to the Summit Christian Academy Class of 2026!

Varsity Boys Track & Field had a great weekend at the Class 4 State meet this past weekend, placing 12th in the state overall. Great job, gentlemen!

Connecting academics to real life experiences is one of the best and most important parts of learning! Before school let out, Mrs. Reising's 6th grade math classes experienced a “Target Takeover” as students rotated through real-world math stations using skills learned throughout the semester.

From calculating discounts to budgeting, fractions, decimals, and problem-solving, students applied their math knowledge in fun, hands-on shopping scenarios. It was a great way to celebrate all they’ve learned while showing how math is used in everyday life. We are so grateful for the donations and support of Target!

Congratulations, Leo! Sophomore Leo Butler ran 4:07.54 in the 1600m to win the race by .007 of a second as well as set a new MSHSAA Class 4 state record!

SCA Seniors have the opportunity to take "Career Internship" as a class where they shadow careers for graduation credit, experiencing the field they are most interested in pursuing post graduation! Twenty SCA Seniors enrolled in the Career Internship program last semester and gained experience in the professional community!

Carmen Mullins- interned at The Haley Epps Team- “Internship is a huge blessing because I get to see behind-the-scenes of what a realtor goes through from the legal side of things to the hard work that it takes to be successful. I’m blessed with this opportunity to see what this job requires.”

Esther Willoughby- interned at Abacus Accounting Solutions- “Internship was a great experience! This helped me understand what an accountant does and the kind of environment they're in!”

Ava Rapley- interned at SCA with Kindergarten teacher Mrs. Davis. “I’m glad that I took internship because it helped me realize that I want to be a teacher. I’ve learned so much from Mrs. Davis and her kindergarten class.”

Garrett Dorian- interned at Raytown - Lee's Summit Community Credit Union- "I am very glad that I took internship. I would say if you are a senior and have no idea what you want to do after high school, I think it is a non-negotiable and you should take internship."

Congratulations to SCA's Discovery Student of the Year- fifth grader King Pritchard!
King was chosen based on his achievement, progress, and dedicated work ethic!

Two SCA Seniors received the Third and Long Foundation's awards, which values academics and serving!

Aidan Cummings received the Derrick Thomas Service Scholarship for the 2025-2026 school year, and Addison Welch was first runner-up for the Neil Smith Service Scholarship, and also received a monetary scholarship award!
