Mission Statement 

Summit Ridge Middle School delivers an engaging and challenging internationally minded education in which hearts and minds seek to create a more honest world through inquiry, intercultural understanding, and authentic learning experiences.

Philosophy Statement 

Summit Ridge Middle School strives to expose all students to diverse learning experiences. These authentic learning experiences enable students to generate higher-order thinking skills to transfer knowledge within classrooms and extend this knowledge to the real world. We support student-led learning to encourage reflection on strengths and develop a sense of personal achievement while motivating students to empathically explore both international and community outlooks.
