About SMARTS
SMARTS in Lanham, Maryland has been around since 2011. Serving community sectors in Prince George’s County and Washington, DC, we started offering STEM program options for elementary students.
To this day, our staff continues to be genuinely invested in the success of these programs. Our desire for the academic accomplishment of each student in the various communities we serve also remains just as strong.
Our Mission
We offer high-quality programs featuring academic/educational enrichment and recreational activities to kids in Pre-K through 8th grade.
These are held after school hours and designed to reinforce and complement their regular academic program. Our programs focus on academic enrichment and social development after school and during summer.
We incorporate performing art activities into an academic program where math and science are fused with hands-on activities, classroom instructions, and performance-related tasks.
