History
Report
The initial name for the school was The Tutoring School Learning Center. The school began with one student, in the lower level of The Beekman School and grew rapidly. Students who were unable to stay abreast with the classes in The Beekman School were sent to The Tutoring School Learning Center to work on an individual basis.

Report
We are dedicated to achieving excellence in alternative education, and in making such education available to our community. We believe that our school should strive to provide our students with the benefits of a nurturing and positive educational setting: small class size, personalized instruction, interactive learning, parent engagement, and an openness to all accommodations.
Accreditation
Report
Accreditation is the affirmation that a school provides a quality of education that the community has a right to expect and the education world endorses. Accreditation is a means of showing confidence in a school's performance. The chief purpose of the whole accreditation process is the improvement of education for youth by evaluating the degree to which a school has attained worthwhile outcomes set by its own staff and community.
Student Life
Report
After school clubs are a crucial aspect to our program here at Smith. We require all students to attend at least one club per week, in order to strengthen their skills in the community and grow as individuals. We encourage our students to self-advocate and we welcome any new club ideas each year. All clubs are student led, with a faculty member as the advisor.
