We Teach Differently...
Because Every Child Learns Differently
Welcome to Vincent Smith School
The ONLY Long Island Private School Specializing in
The Science of Reading
Since 1924, our sole mission at Vincent Smith has been to meet each student's individualized needs to help them grow and thrive.
If your child is falling behind or not progressing, has learning issues such as dyslexia or other language processing disorder, or is just not thriving in public or prep school, consider the Vincent Smith School for grades 1-12.
We are the only Long Island private, 1-12 school specializing in LD students without behavioral issues, using evidence and research-based programs like Orton-Gillingham, Wilson, PAF, and other proven supports based on The Science of Reading.
Come visit our beautiful, rustic campus, meet our special education certified teachers, view our small classes and differentiated instruction, and discover a nurturing & supportive environment for your child and your whole family.

"I would like to wholeheartedly and happily thank you for accepting our son to the Vincent Smith School. I don't remember ever seeing and hearing him so happy, willing and confident that he is going to school. It has always been the opposite. From the very beginning, we have felt genuine kindness, empathy, authenticity, open-mindedness and understanding from you. Thank you very much for that, especially after our traumatic public school experiences. From the first meeting, he repeats without a doubt that THIS Is his school."
Mrs. G., Parent
"This school was a godsend to me when I was in grammar school. My parents had the good sense to see I learned differently and had more of a creative way of learning. I'm so blessed to have had Vincent Smith School to shape me and I'm forever blessed and thankful. Definitely wouldn't be doing what I love for a living and would not have gotten through St Andrews School without Vincent Smith. Thank you so much!"
Julie Anne Ramos, Former Student
"Having a student at Vincent Smith School has been a life-changing event for our family. The academics and extra-curricular activities are tailored to children individually and in groups. Each day is educational and enriching, yet fun. The most important components are the faculty and support staff, who all personally ensure every student feels accepted, motivated, and encouraged to shine. We are blessed to have found this school."
Mrs. Mary Gould, Parent
"If you have a child struggling in school this is where you want to send them. First they rebuild their confidence, then they establish how they learn best. The staff is extremely caring and very dedicated. My child attended lower and middle school until we moved away. He hated school until he went to Vincent Smith. I give it an A+."
