Recognized by Experts, Trusted by Families

A recent Stanford study shows NHA partner-school students continue to outperform their traditional public school peers. They do so by gaining nearly three-and-a-half months of additional learning compared to their peers. NHA also earned the new “gap busters” designation for outstanding progress in eliminating learning disparities for minority and poverty students.

Advanced Learning at NHA

Advanced learners thrive in our schools because we provide meaningful academic challenges from the start. Through the EXCEL-ERATE program in grades K–8, students participate in accelerated learning and deeper thinking activities that strengthen their confidence and sense of responsibility. Middle school students can even earn high school credit. In high school, they can continue to push themselves through Advanced Placement (AP) courses, which offer rigorous college-level work and the chance to earn college credit. Together, these programs encourage students to work hard, think critically, and take ownership of their learning.
