The Smith Institute

The Smith Institute is a private institution in New York that helps kids that are distraught with A-'s and other cases of near perfection. Jonathan Smith said "these aren't bad kids, they've just been having a rough time, they've had to deal with 9/10s or 35's or 2nd places." 

Bob Bobward, a valedictorian front runner at Lincoln high school said, "in July College Board sent me a letter saying I only got a 4 out of 5 on the A.P. Rocket Science test, it was a nightmare, I put commas in the wrong places, I kept forgetting the table of elements, I even lost interest in pi. The Smith institute was very helpful, they helped me realize that I can be a great person in this world, even if I can't take all 36 A.P. tests."

The vision of the Smith Institution is to help kids reach 94% of their potential, not 93%.
