Smith Prep

Reviews

  My wife’s review covered most of the primary benefits of a Smith Prep education. But I thought of a couple things you might want to know if interested in the School. One is every other year the students have an opportunity to travel overseas, one year my wife and daughter went to Italy(Rome, Florence, Sorrento, and Pompeii) and last year she took our two older kids to France, Germany and Switzerland with the headmaster, Michael Phillips, as the prime tour guide. The school also has a “house system” which groups kids of multiple age groups together to support each other and compete in various competitions throughout the year, this promotes team work and fellowship. For the adventurous students Smith offers a high adventure leadership camp in North Carolina. Any review would be lacking if it didn’t mention the excellent instruction of Michael Sacasas the Dean of Academics and Literature professor. I’m highly impressed with this professor’s approach to writing and education. He recognizes the impact technology is having on the attention spans of our kids(and us) and works hard to instill the value of traditional forms of learning to combat it. I’m so impressed that my kids are happily memorizing poetry, scripture and reading the classics.
