It is located in New York City and also serves an online community for coursework and home schooling. Courses are taught via online instruction an
d plans are in the making for construction of school buildings. ASSC's origin can be traced back to 2014 when the First Presidency of the Society for Humanistic Mormonism realized the need to have an elementary school for children that was completely humanistic with regard to Mormonism and the religion known as Humanistic Mormonism. It was decided that the school would be named in honor of President Ajahn Spock, who currently serves as First Counselor in the First Presidency of the Society for Humanistic Mormonism. President Spock has worked tirelessly towards developing a rationalistic-humanistic framework for primary-aged children and their need to develop their critical thinking and reasoning abilities, which he has supported and advanced. President Spock also serves as ASSC’s first Dean for the school. ASSC wishes to expand its online courses with openings for positions for teachers, as well as its current project of seeking school accreditation. Future courses will focus on humanism, the role of science, Humansitic Mormonism, and the place for critical thought and reasoning for primary aged children.
