Igniting the Spark of Learning

Our Middle School offers day programming for 7th-8th grade students.

Supported

We believe that every student thrives when they feel truly supported. Our Middle School program is designed to provide a nurturing environment where students are guided by compassionate educators who understand their unique needs. From learning engagement to counseling services, we ensure that each student has the resources and encouragement they need to succeed. With personalized attention and a community that cares, we help students build the confidence to take on new challenges and grow into their best selves.

Seen

To find your PIN, you must be your authentic self. We celebrate each individual’s strengths, talents, and perspectives, creating an inclusive environment where diversity is valued. Our educators take the time to get to know each student, recognizing their potential and fostering a sense of belonging. By making sure every student feels acknowledged and valued, we help them develop a strong sense of identity and purpose.

Challenged

We believe that growth happens when students are challenged to stretch beyond their comfort zones. At NEIA, our Middle School curriculum is designed to engage students intellectually and creatively, pushing them to think critically and solve complex problems. We encourage students to take risks, ask questions, and explore new ideas in a supportive environment. By providing meaningful challenges, we prepare students to face the future with resilience, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

"Middle School is a challenging time for all students, however, NEIA’s environment of encouraging students to be themselves and to grow inspires everyone to tap into their potential as an innovator and person."
Carl, 8th Grade Parent
"In Middle School, we believe in fueling the curiosity that drives our students to explore, discover, and grow. We create programs and an environment where every question sparks a journey, and each discovery builds the confidence to embrace the challenges of the future."

"NEIA's Middle School gives me so many opportunities to flourish and to grow academically and personally."
