Our Approach
At The Neighborhood Academy, we understand that what prevents young people from becoming everything they are meant to be is the accumulation of burdens that they bring to school. These burdens can be heavy and complex, and they can hinder a student's ability to learn, grow, and thrive. That is why we have developed a unique approach to address these burdens.
Our approach is centered around cultivating a culture of respect and success. We believe that every student deserves a safe, inviting, and invigorating learning environment, where they can feel valued and supported. Our faculty and staff deliberately create a school culture that is inclusive, warm, and empowering. We recognize that young people, especially those from distressed communities, cannot learn and grow in an environment that lacks emotional warmth.
