Built for Learning.
We make furniture specifically for pre-K-12 teachers and students. Everything is tailored to how they work, how they think and even how they fidget. When you’re ready, we’ll partner with you to curate the best possible spaces – school by school, classroom by classroom.
Introducing Planner Studio.
These sophisticated 29″h, 36″h and 40″h tables can meet the demanding needs of your Makerspace, without the pared down “shop-class” aesthetics.
On Trend: Flexible Seating
No matter what your district calls it — optional seating, alternative seating, flexible seating — many K-12 educators are rushing to provide nontraditional seating options for their students.
Visit Smith System at ISTE in Booth Number 1532. June 24 - 27.

Active seating
Just flip the inventive rocker base over to switch between sitting flat and sitting with movement.
We don’t make K-12 school furniture as part of what we do. It’s the only thing we do.
We design for young minds. With a century of experience, we’ve learned what makes pre-K-12 education different from any other environment (spoiler alert: quite a lot), and have made it our business to cater to those unique qualities. About Smith System
