Welcome to Summit Christian Academy!
Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions a family can make. At Summit Christian Academy, we believe education works best when schools and families partner together with shared values, clear communication, and a commitment to helping students grow academically, spiritually, socially, and personally.
Summit serves more than 730 students across multiple campuses in Broken Arrow. It provides a Christ-centered learning environment focused on academic excellence, spiritual formation, fine arts, athletics, STEAM innovation, and strong community relationships.
We are honored that you are considering Summit and would love the opportunity to help your family learn more about our school community and admissions process.

Our goal is to help students discover their God-given potential and prepare them to lead lives of faith, purpose, and impact.
Admissions Process
Because many grade levels are at or near capacity, Summit uses the application process to help determine availability and fit before scheduling the next steps. After an application is submitted, our admissions team will review the student’s information and follow up on available openings, campus visit opportunities, family interviews, and any required academic screening.
