Vincent Smith School is one of the most established Nassau County private, independent schools. Its tradition of excellence dates back to 1924 when its founders from England were in need of a place for their own children to be educated. What started as the vision of four committed individuals has evolved into one of the best Nassau County private schools.

The Vincent Smith School is in a class by itself as it relates to other Nassau County private schools. Unlike most other Nassau County private schools, the Vincent Smith School addresses the specific needs of students with learning disabilities (LD) such as AD/HD, LD (Dyslexia/Dyscalculia/Dysgraphia), Auditory Processing Disorder, Expressive/Receptive Language Disorders in grades 1-12.

The School’s location makes it an ideal choice for Queens and Brooklyn families looking for a Nassau County private, independent school. Its proximity to both boroughs makes it a viable option. Transportation is even available for students from Queens County.

The Vincent Smith School is recognized as one of the finest because it provides students who possess special needs and/or learning disabilities with a supportive environment in which they experience academic success, emotional growth and social acceptance. Differentiated instruction in small classes allows students to realize their full potential and identify goals for their future. Approximately 85% of VSS graduates go on to college.

Vincent Smith School is chartered by the New York State Board of Regents and is accredited by the New York State Association of Independent Schools. The Vincent Smith School is not just a Nassau County private school, it is the model for what a school for children with learning disabilities should be.
