The school isn't inexpensive but your child will receive a strong educational foundation in a very clean, positive, challenging atmosphere in return from Nysmith and I think that makes it worth it for those who make the investment.  I frequently take my child to school to drop her off and she is always very excited about going.  All the other children I see at the school all seem very happy being there and the school's academic results as far as getting into the area's public GT tech highschool I believe speak for themselves.

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
