“Two of my children have graduated from Nysmith School. This school has molded them into independent, grateful children. I would also recommend this school for the creative thinking and emotional stability it provides for children.”
—Parent

Ken Nysmith
Head of School
I'm Ken Nysmith, Head of School at The Nysmith School in Herndon, Virginia. Since 1983, when my mother founded the school, we've been family-owned and dedicated to providing a joyful, world-class education for students from ages 3 through 8th grade. Our renowned STEM program, alongside a diverse curriculum including reading, math, science, and foreign languages, is taught with a 1:9 teacher-to-student ratio. In 2015, Johns Hopkins recognized us as one of the Top 10 Schools in the World, and our students consistently score in the top 1% on IOWA standardized tests.
Having served in many roles here since 1985, from bus driver to accountant and now Head of School since 2005, I remain committed to ensuring our mission is upheld for every student who joins our community.
