Summit Charter School Summit Charter School is a K-12 tuition-free public school in Cashiers, NC. At Summit, learning is an exciting adventure.

Located in the beautiful mountains of Cashiers, North Carolina, Summit offers a high-quality and unique K-12 educational program that connects students to the many wonderful environmental and community resources that surround the school. Imagine studying geology while hiking the Chattooga River, or forces and motion while scaling Looking Glass Mountain, or American History and heritage through the cultural voices of the Cherokee Indians. Learning takes on tremendous value when academic rigor is combined with character education and first-hand experiences through local field studies and place-based excursions. Summit is a *tuition-free* public charter school. For the 2022-23 school year, we will serve 295 students and 45 faculty and staff, representing five counties in rural western North Carolina.
