Founded over ten years ago by Ruth Knoll and Jean Navarre, women of vision who identified the need for a school dedicated to bright, creative, and gifted children, Summers-Knoll has blossomed from an intimate educational environment located in Ms. Navarre's basement into a fully accredited independent school, providing services to children grades K-5. Through it all, though, we have remained dedicated to our original philosophy of child-centered education within small student groupings.

At Summers-Knoll School, our maximum class sizes are 12 students for each kindergarten classroom and 14 students for each grade 1-5 classroom.
