Through strategic partnerships with three noted social-service providers, Summit School of Ahwatukee is making eight $6,000 pre-school scholarships available to area children.
The scholarships, covering costs of the school’s nationally accredited five-day program, are for the academic school year which runs Aug. 3 this year through May 17 next year.
Recipients are selected on the basis of family income, with limits set by the state. Qualifying families are responsible for paying tuition not covered by the scholarship, as well as the cost of before- and after-school care or enrichment classes, if needed.
According to Summit’s admissions and marketing director, Kathy Konrad, the school’s curriculum is research-based, developmentally appropriate and taught by experienced teachers, who nurture cognitive, social and emotional growth.
The scholarships are being offered in partnership with Quality First, First Things First and Valley of the Sun United Way.
Summit is a private pre-school, elementary and middle school located just across the freeway from Tempe and Chandler, at 46th Street and Muirwood Drive, immediately south of Chandler Blvd.
