Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow


"Learning today . . . leading tomorrow." This is our slogan for teaching and nurturing Smith Leadership Academy students in preparation for the future. At the Academy, we know each and every student. We respect their individuality and challenge them to learn about themselves and to celebrate who they are. We engage students in rigorous and challenging academics and we also support and nourish their character development and growth. In the words of graduate Samson Abraha '06, "Smith Leadership Academy has shaped me into the strong young man I am today.
