Why NFA?

Opportunities for Everyone

International mindedness is an integral part of who we are. At NFA, we value the diverse cultures and perspectives that make up our school community. We work continuously to foster an environment of respect, collaboration and empathy for all students.

Built for Every Learner

NFA meets each student where they are in their academic journey. Courses at NFA encourage independent thinking and motivation while also providing intervention support for students in need. Our faculty and counselors will work with students to select courses that challenge them at the appropriate level.

Honors Program

NFA offers a variety of honors courses in English, math, science, world language and social studies for students who demonstrate incredible aptitude, initiative and creativity. For entering ninth graders, consideration for placement in honors courses is determined by the student’s results from the High School Placement Test, prior academic achievement record and teacher recommendations.

School to Work Program

Each student takes their own unique career path after high school. Our School to Work Program is an option for students who would like to explore job-training programs with our growing network of community partners. To learn more about our School To Work Program, click here.
