As educators, we are very aware of the trust placed in us to create an environment that promotes a desire to learn and succeed. From preschool to high school graduation, we are committed to “supporting the child and developing the student.”

A Vision for the Future

Smethport Area SD inspires students to achieve academic excellence by providing high quality curricula and learning programs.

Our Goals
We believe that, when given the appropriate tools, all children can learn. We commit to providing our community of learners with an environment of respect and support that:

  • Understands and meets the needs of all students
  • Supports personal independence
  • Remains relevant in our ever-changing culture by utilizing a strong technology base
  • Encourages students to strive for excellence
  • Supports the development of student career and college-readiness skills
  • Encourages students to set and achieve career goals

Opportunities for Learning

We proudly offer a challenging academic curriculum supplemented with a variety of extracurricular programs and services that enhance the student learning experience. Students have the opportunity to participate in activities such as athletics, fine arts, community service projects, classroom technology and STEM initiatives, and college-readiness activities.

Preschool
We are pleased to offer children within our community a head start in preschool. We serve approximately 40 three- and four-year-old children in our preschool classes. Interested families can receive more information and register at our elementary office. Three-year-old children must have turned three before September 1 of the current school year to attend.
