Insights and Tips from the Experts at SCK
SCK was founded in 2001 by Roxana Reid with the goal of guiding families and students to
self-actualize through accessing just-right educational fit. We are a proud Black-owned business.
“School is where children spend the most amount of time and it should also be the place where they can reflect on who they are as a person, their family’s values, and how they hope to contribute to the world as agents of change.

-Roxana Reid
Smart City Kids Founder & CEO
