Private Schools

We are very happy with SEA and our children are doing really well there. My older son is on the "Yes Committee" and loves taking on more responsibility. The teachers really care and academically, they are doing really well. It has been exciting to see my older son learn to read so quickly and he is definitely progressing academically beyond what I expected at this age. There is always room for improvement here and there, but overall I give the school an A rating. My older son has had two awesome teachers who really know him, his strengths and weaknesses, and were so patient and kind.

Beautiful campus.

Great school!!

Its fine o ges

I love my new school because better education and I get good grades all the time!

It is a great community but the classes are a challenge every day. Other than that it is a great school. Go Knights.

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.

my name is Landon Beck and i went here about 11 years ago, i remember being in class and learning cursive. These were some of the best years of my life. Thanks to everyone who helped me get to high school.

I go to this school it can get stressful at times though

PHA is fantastic!👍📖💕🎸 an A in my book

Awesome school, great kids, welcoming environment. Couldn’t be happier.

The teachers here love you and want you to succeed always.

We just moved from Miami and this is our first year in this school. I was a little hesitant to try the school because of the previous review but I will say that my experience is totally opposite. The staff and administration have been totally phenomenal. I work closely with the teachers and I'm in constant communication with them so we're always in the same page regarding my son's educate. I get constant update on what they are working on with my child so I always know what is going on in the classroom. My son loves the school and the teachers are so loving and caring. They have an open door policy, classrooms are not overcrowded at all. I was so impressed with my son's improvement since he's been there that I started to volunteer in the classrooms. I have been able to watch how the teachers teach my son and they have given me great techniques that I can also implement at home. I honestly don't have anything negative to say about the school so far my experience have been great.
