School Tours

Visit Smith and Take a Tour

Visit Smith to see 21st century global learning! Exciting things are happening at Smith, and we would love to share our recently-renovated and expanded facility with you. With a dedicated staff, well-equipped classrooms, and the richness of the IB-PYP curriculum, students at Smith are becoming global citizens and lifelong learners.

Come learn more about how IB-PYP transforms your child’s classroom. Hear more about how your child will develop responsible attitudes and take thoughtful and appropriate action. Our classrooms are enriched by six Transdisciplinary Themes upon which our teaching teams develop Units of Inquiry. This framework shapes students’ learning through in-depth inquiries into real-life issues.
