Discover Our Difference

What sets us apart is our belief that success is built on both academics and character. Our rigorous academic program challenges students to think critically, while our Moral Focus™ lessons teach the importance of respect, perseverance, and personal responsibility. Together, they help students build the confidence and moral strength to succeed wherever life takes them.

Academic Excellence

At NHA schools, students are challenged and supported to reach their full potential. Our research-based curriculum and data-driven instruction help every child grow with confidence and curiosity while preparing for long-term success in school and beyond. A Stanford University study found NHA students gain 3.5 more months of learning each year compared to their public school peers. Three out of four NHA schools outperform their local districts on state tests, and four out of five parents say their child receives a high-quality education here.

Moral Focus™

Through our Moral Focus™ program, students learn and practice virtues like respect, gratitude, and courage. These lessons are woven into daily learning so students know how to apply them in real life, both in and out of the classroom. By pairing strong academics with character education, we help children grow into confident, kind, and responsible individuals who lead with integrity. Four out of five parents agree that NHA’s Moral Focus™ program has had a positive impact on their child.

Parent Partnership

We believe students thrive when schools and families work together. NHA schools build strong connections between home and school through open communication and meaningful opportunities for involvement. Parents stay informed through regular progress updates and easy-to-use tools like Parent Portal and NHA SchoolConnect. Four out of five parents report satisfaction with communication from teachers and school leaders.

Student Responsibility

Education at NHA is about more than grades or test scores. We teach students to think carefully, make smart choices, and take responsibility for their learning and behavior. With steady guidance from teachers and staff, students build independence, self-discipline, and confidence—skills that prepare them to do well in school and in life.

Structured Setting

Clear expectations and consistent routines create a safe, focused environment where students thrive. Our structured setting helps students understand what’s expected, stay engaged in their learning, and build the responsibility and confidence they need to succeed.

A Day in the Life of an NHA Student

Join us for a typical day at an NHA school—where students dive into rigorous learning, collaborate with peers, and engage in character-building through our Moral Focus™ program. From morning classes to extracurriculars, each moment reflects our commitment to developing confident, responsible learners who are prepared for college, career, and life.
