NEIA’s educational process extends beyond traditional classrooms, encompassing activities like advocacy groups, after-school activities, residential programs, service projects, expeditions, and internships. These activities embody and promote NEIA’s values, striving to provide an innovative, relevant, and future-focused learning experience. At its core, NEIA believes in the transformative power of empathy, curiosity, and collaboration in making a positive impact on the world.
