Our Master Plan
Planned Growth is Smart Growth
We recognize the trend towards growing numbers of students who have become frustrated with learning within the confines of traditional education. Nawa Academy offers alternatives for students seeking to realize their potential.
More than ever, Nawa Academy is committed to serving an even greater population of students who benefit from a non-traditional learning environment. To accomplish this, Nawa Academy has developed a Master Plan.
The Master Plan describes a long-range growth phase for Nawa Academy’s campus. It is expected that within a decade, our campus will expand from its current enrollment of 55 students to a community of just over 150 students with 90 faculty and staff.
Be assured that the unique qualities, assets and values of Nawa Academy will be woven into the entire masterplan process from design to construction.
When asked, "What makes Nawa Academy unique" our parents, faculty and staff responded
- "The staff and their philosophy of interaction."
- "Experiential learning."
- "Their innovative approach."
- "Non-institutional atmosphere."
- "Beautiful rural setting."
- "The location, options for travel, snowboarding"
