Vincent Smith School, located in Port Washington, NY, is a renowned co-ed, independent special education institution that has been serving students from grades 1-12 in Nassau, Suffolk, and New York City since 1924. We specialize in providing a personalized academic education for average to above-average students with attention or learning differences such as Dyslexia, Auditory & Language Processing Disorders, anxiety, school avoidance, or AD/HD. As a New York State Board of Regents registered school, we prioritize academic success while also offering differentiated instruction, college or vocational prep, and social-emotional support.

Our on-site speech, reading, and occupational therapies further enhance our comprehensive approach to education. At Vincent Smith School, we understand that every child learns differently, which is why we emphasize academic excellence combined with personal and social development. Our highly-trained faculty and families actively engage in our integrated programs, making learning a community effort.

With over 95 years of educational excellence, we prepare our students for post-secondary transition and beyond, whether it be transitioning back to public schools or continuing their education at prestigious colleges.
