This is my daughters first year at Olympus as a junior. Wish I would have enrolled her as a freshman. From leadership, teachers/mentors to the curriculum and all the support they give the students and families this is such a great school.

I have always appreciated the openess of the leadership team in hearing parents and taking their thoughts, ideas, and concerns into consideration to ensure that the school runs the best way. They are always professional yet down to earth and relatable and will consistently take time out to speak or meet with families.

Summit Olympus does not turn any student away and woks hard to give each child the optimal level of support that they may need.

Summit Olypmus has a zero policy for like most schools but uses the process of conflict resolution for all parties to get the perpertrator truly understand why their actions were wrong or inappropiate. This helps students take ownership of their own actions so they can reflect and grow.

I am happy I choose Summit Olympus for my student. Every student is different in their approaches to learning and my child had her own unique challenges. She has grown in her confidence and leadership. Add the fact that all students in 11th and 12th grades take AP level courses, she has been challenged in a positive way to prepare her for higher education. The support from staff and unique approach to teaching has led my student to being able to have As and Bs in all of her classes. My student will be ready for college level material and has had the opportunity to explore what she wants to pursue in life all the while in smaller class sizes so she gets the attention she needs.
I give Summit Olympus in Tacoma a 5 star rating

My child is able to work at her own pace on things such as practicums. Howeork is more like study time.

I enjoy the fact that teachers are able to bring mew and innovative approaches to learning at not subscribe to the "one size fits all" notion. Becuase of this each teacher as their own unique way of bringing out the best in all students.

My student as grown a lot since her beginning year at Summit Olypmus. She was always more quiet and dealt with strong anxiety in school. Over the years she as become more confident in her abilities and as been honored several times as being a kind and respectful student to other children who are sometimes on the margin of the social grouping at school. I believe Summit Plympus core values and mission as helped her find her voice and recognize that anyone can be a leader.
