“Summit Academy is more than just a school – it is a home away from home where your child will receive the attention, care, and high quality academic program that will build a strong foundation for their future."
- Mrs. Jessica Kull, Principal Summit Academy Flat Rock
Maximizing one’s potential is the essence of education. At Flat Rock K-8, we eliminate all obstacles that would otherwise stand in your child’s way. Small class sizes, advanced technologies and inspired curriculums are just some of the ways we help students reach their summits, and pursue lives where the only limits are the ones that are perceived.
Every student is different. Not just in the way they develop, but also in the way they learn. At Flat Rock K-8, small class sizes allow us to educate each student like he or she is the only one in the room, and identify children that need extra attention. For all of their differences, every student here has one thing in common: a real opportunity to succeed, and Flat Rock K-8 is a charter school like no other.
We are committed to helping our students grow not only academically, but also socially and culturally. By exposing students to a diverse environment filled with classmates, teachers and administrators of various backgrounds and belief systems, they gain the emotional maturity needed to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Unlike some other charter schools, we encourage parental involvement at Summit. From earning better grades to developing stronger social skills, studies show that students are more successful when their parents are actively involved in their education. We work with all parents who want to play a hands-on role in their child’s education.
There’s no substitute for a proper charter school education. It’s the root of success, prosperity, and personal fulfillment. At Summit Academy Flat Rock, we believe the responsibility of educating future generations is sacred, and we do everything in our power to validate the faith that’s placed in us by delivering an educational experience that helps each of our students reach their personal summit.
All great journeys start with a single step. Enroll your child today and pave their path to success.
A smaller student-to-teacher ratio allows our curriculum to be more immersive, giving each student the attention they deserve. Our new online schooling option allows for a true one-on-one education.
We use real-world problem solving and the latest technology to prepare students for their next academic year and, ultimately, college.
Our teachers are fully invested in each student’s success, taking individual learning styles into account to help every child grow in their own way.
Our no-tolerance bullying policy makes Summit Academy Schools a place where diversity and uniqueness are celebrated.

Hello Summit Families,
I hope that you all enjoyed your spring break. It was certainly one of the most, if not the most unique spring break ever. It’s been a month since we have been together with our students, staff, and families. It is hard to believe how quickly time flies. We miss our students so much!!
I hope that you are all safe and well. I have some fun news today! I wanted to share that our kindergarten through 7th grade students at Summit North and Kindergarten through 4th grade at Summit Flat Rock should be receiving mail. It will come in a large brown envelope with a white sticker that has the Summit Logo and says, “Extended Learning Materials Enclosed.” Some of our students have already received them. The envelope will contain a Think Stretch book for students and a Parent Guide. Please hold on to those books. The teachers will be using those for their Distance Learning Lessons. We will be sending you more information next week about the Distance Learning for your students. If your student doesn’t receive a Think Stretch book by Wednesday, April 15, please email your building administrator and let them know.
We are very excited that we will be launching our Distance Learning Plan and website on Monday, April 20. It will be your one stop shopping place for all learning activities, updated information, technology support, and assistance. Look for more information to come on Friday to get ready for the launch. More information to come.
We are planning a Virtual Town Hall Meeting on our Facebook Page on Thursday, April 23 at 6:00 to try to answer questions and provide additional information to our Summit Academy and Summit Academy North Family.
Remember that we are continuing to distribute breakfast and lunch for 7 days on Mondays from 11:00 – 12:00 at Summit Academy North Elementary and Summit Academy Flat Rock.
We sent out a notice to seniors today with a list of FAQ’s regarding graduation. Here is the link related to Seniors.

Please don’t hesitate to email me, you child’s administrator, or teachers with questions, comments or concerns. We are here to support your children and you throughout this very challenging time.
We are indeed a Summit Family, and we are #SummitStrong
Keep Breathing FIRE
Leann Hedke
