Smith Academy for Excellence is one of Indiana's first ever all boys public schools located in Fort Wayne, IN. College preparation, character education and service learning are emphasized within the curriculum. The academy offers extracurricular activities including interscholastic sports. The School opened in the fall of 2012 for students in grades six through nine. The academy will continue to grow until it is K-12. The founders are Thomas Smith and his two sons, Corey and Cameron. They have lived in Fort Wayne since 1983 and have a combined nearly 60 years of experience as professional educators. Of those years, over 50 of them have been spent serving the youth of Fort Wayne and the city’s southeast side. Over those years, the Smiths have individually and collectively had a growing passion for serving the young men of Fort Wayne which has resulted in the establishment of this school.
