Our Approach
What Makes NHA Different?
Moral Focus™
Moral Focus™ helps students build strong character through nine virtues taught throughout the school year. These virtues are part of everyday learning and help students make good choices, build positive relationships, and treat others with respect.
The Service Center
Our Service Center teams provide support in areas such as human resources, technology, finance, curriculum, and operations. By supporting the business needs of our schools, these teams help school leaders and teachers stay focused on students.
The Dean Model
NHA schools use a team-based leadership model that gives teachers more direct support. Teachers work closely with a dean who can spend more time observing instruction, providing feedback, and helping teachers grow, so they can better support their students.
