HIS Kids Christian School is a ministry of Summit Presbyterian Church.  Our purpose is to educate children and guide them to Jesus Christ through an academically challenging Bible-rich curriculum.  We desire to see children develop in a balanced way – spiritually, mentally, physically, and socially, just as Jesus did.

“Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”

At HIS Kids Christian School, our staff is equipped to address the many areas developing in a child’s life.  Our teachers enhance children’s spiritual development in an intentional and nurturing manner.  Academics are taken seriously while including God within all areas of study.  Cultivation a worldview in which God has His rightful place, we look to the Bible for guidance in answering life’s big questions.  We want to see all our students reach their God-given potential by helping to develop their unique skills and talents.
