About Summit

Welcome to Summit Virtual Academy!

We are the home of the Mountaineers! Summit is a free, online K-12 school where students can learn at home, and are part of North Thurston Public Schools in Lacey, WA.

At Summit, we believe everyone can achieve individual growth when our community of students, families, and staff work together. In an environment where tradition meets innovation, learners can reach their true summit.
