Summit Technology Academy

Summit Technology Academy (STA) is a shared campus of junior and senior students who come together for a half-day program as an extension of their home high school. STA is a career-focused academy designed to prepare students for tomorrow’s professional workforce. It is located at the Missouri Innovation Campus building, which is a cutting edge facility that looks and feels like today’s top collaborative workplaces. STA shares this facility with the University of Central Missouri–Lee’s Summit, creating a professional collegiate atmosphere for students from more than 40 public and private high schools sent from 18 school districts. STA opened two programs (environmental Studies & Hopsitality, Tourism, and Recreation Management) at the Paradise Park Campus in 2023 and another campus in 2025 at the the Kansas City-Lee'Summit Regional Airport (LXT) for our Aerospace Academy (Aviation) students. Students who are driven, focused, and passionate about discovering their future career field will thrive at STA.
