What Everest families are saying

“And while 30 years may seem like an eternity to our kids, we all know that it goes by in the blink of an eye… which was never more evident to us than when we realized that we’ve been at Everest for 10 of those 30 years!

In reflecting upon our time at Everest, we kept coming back to the fact that similar to our relationship with Christ, each of our relationships with Everest is a very personal and unique journey. Some of us may value the more personalized instruction that our children receive. Others may cherish the focus on the faith formation that is so lacking in today’s society. And others may appreciate the opportunity for success on the playing field through our burgeoning athletics programs.

“Everest Academy welcomed our first four boys in the fall of 1997, the year we moved to Clarkston. At that time, the gymnasium and second floor of the current high school building were just being finished. Fast forward to today, we have had all nine of our children attend Everest with our youngest five children graduating from the high school. All our children have benefitted from the quality college-preparatory education and superior faith formation provided at Everest through the Integral Formation educational pedagogy. The faculty, staff, and religious community have gifted them with the tools needed to face today’s world with confidence and grace, and we are forever grateful.”

- Tim & Beth Smith
