In our tuition-free charter school, everyone works very hard to provide every student with the individualized attention needed to learn, grow and achieve. Our school curriculum is student-centered, with lessons and standards presented in ways that help them thrive and succeed.

 

At Smith Academy for Excellence, we are a team of dedicated professionals working to raise the bar in public education. By continually challenging ourselves, we strive for continuous improvement toward a common goal: to assure every student achieves his or her own unique potential.

 

Our school is distinctive, designed specifically to meet the existing and emerging needs of our community. We are proud of our school's hallmark characteristics including:

 

• High expectations for academics and behavior

• Personalized student attention

• Caring, highly qualified teachers

• Hands-on, relevant learning

• Safe, nurturing environment

 

We warmly encourage parent involvement and also work to establish lasting partnerships with community organizations. This combination of caring and high standards surrounds our students, parents and staff – and excellence in teaching and learning is the result.

 

Students leave our school with a solid foundation for learning, taking their first steps toward a lifetime of success. Our goal is for each one of our students to graduate well prepared for his next step in life. Whatever they choose, we want them to thrive as individuals as well as members of their families and communities.
