At Summers-Knoll, we understand that the educational process does not have to end when the final bell rings, so we offer a variety of extracurricular activities allowing children to expand their repertoire of learning experiences.

The following descriptions will acquaint you with the current extracurricular options.

Summers-Knoll Strings
Our strings program is open to all students and takes place after school. Suzuki techniques are used to teach strings to both beginning and more-experienced students alike. The program is comprised of both group and private lessons and runs for the entire school year. There is an additional fee to participate in this activity.

Chess
Led by Ray Garrison, one of Michigan’s top 100 rated tournament players, our chess classes are open to all students regardless of their level of expertise. Beginners are taught the rules of the game, basic moves, and some classic end-game winning strategies. Intermediate and advanced students review several Grandmaster chess games and continue to work on tactics and endings. Class tournaments begin in December. Students also have the option to compete in tournaments throughout the state of Michigan. There is an additional fee to participate in this activity.
