Developing Christian character traits in students is one of the primary goals of Summit Christian Academy. Each month, classes focus on particular character traits. They discuss the meaning of these traits and learn about Biblical figures that exemplified these traits in their own lives. Students that make an effort to demonstrate the monthly character traits are recognized and receive an award during a special chapel.
