As both a teacher as well as a healthcare provider ,this school lacks the intellect and insight to provide a robust educational experience to all students.The leadership of this school is relatively inadequate and compounded by the fact the tuition speaks volumes of arrogance.

It's a terrible school. Admin does not care about any parent concerns. Kids there don't thrive and they just don't care.

We have had two children at Nysmith and we have had a very good experience. It's kind of an understated gem in NoVa with extremely strong academics, very committed teachers, and a lovely environment. Negatives are lack of sports but our kids play sports outside of school. The culture isn't super strong, but that wasn't a high priority for us -
