Summit Christian Academy: The Top Private School in the Kansas City Area
Summit Christian Academy (SCA) stands as the top private school in the Kansas City area, empowering students to achieve their God-given potential through outstanding academics and Christian training in a compassionate environment. Founded in 1989 with just 32 students, SCA has grown over the past 36 years to more than 1,300 students, spanning from preschool through 12th grade.
Situated on a picture-esque 36-acre campus, SCA offers first class academic programs, performing arts, speech and debate, athletics, leadership organizations, and clubs. In 2020, SCA expanded its facilities with the addition of ten new classrooms and in 2023 opened a state-of-the-art fieldhouse and activity center, further demonstrating its commitment to providing a comprehensive, well-rounded experience for every student.
At the heart of SCA’s mission lies a dedication to “inspiring excellence in learning.” Teachers at SCA cultivate an environment that encourages students to excel academically and grow spiritually. In classrooms that foster creative thinking, critical analysis, and wise decision-making, students are equipped not just for college, but for life.
Desiring excellence is part of the foundation of SCA, and it is evident in every corner of campus life—academics, arts, and athletics. With a rigorous college-preparatory curriculum, SCA offers students the opportunity to earn up to 83 hours of dual credit and Advanced Placement courses. These programs enable students to enter college ahead of the curve, confident and prepared for future success.

Beyond academic excellence, SCA is intentional in incorporating its core values into every aspect of school life. These core values—igniting leadership, cultivating community, encouraging spiritual growth, pursuing grace and truth, and maintaining a Christ-centered focus—are not just words on a page. They are principles lived out daily, shaping students into compassionate, thoughtful leaders who are grounded in faith.
Each lesson at SCA is intentionally designed to integrate these values, reinforcing the Biblical principles that form the foundation of what it means to be an SCA Eagle. The SCA curriculum is evaluated and refined annually, making sure that it is in alignment with SCA’s mission, helping students grow in their faith and develop a worldview that is consistent with the truth of Scripture.
At SCA, education goes beyond textbooks. Students are challenged to use their talents to glorify God and serve others, building a foundation that will carry them through careers, trade, college and beyond. From award-winning performing arts programs to championship-level athletics, SCA offers opportunities for every student to find their place and shine.
