Preparing Students for What's Next

Our Upper School offers day and boarding to 9th-12th grade domestic and international students.

Integrated
Curriculum

Our curriculum connects different subject areas into a meaningful learning experience by combining related topics, concepts, and skills from various disciplines to provide a holistic understanding.

Experiential
Learning

Our approach emphasizes direct experiences and active engagement through hands-on projects. This fosters a deeper understanding and essential life skills like critical thinking, communication, and adaptability.

Empowering
Community

Our community actively promotes individual personal growth, well-being, and agency. Doing so empowers individuals and encourages them to shape their future and empathize with others in the NEIA community.

Student-Centered

What we do is guided by the principle that students come first. From the curriculum to clubs and after-school activities, our focus is on meeting the diverse needs and interests of our students. By continually listening to our students and adapting our offerings, we create a vibrant and supportive environment where every student can thrive. Here, students are not just participants; they are at the heart of our programs.

Real-World

At NEIA, we believe education extends beyond the classroom. Our students engage in real-world experiences that equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an ever-changing world. Through project-based learning, partnerships, and hands-on opportunities, students collaborate with professionals, tackle real-life challenges, and explore their passions. These immersive experiences prepare our students to be innovative thinkers, confident problem-solvers, and adaptable leaders ready to make an impact in their communities and beyond.

Future-Focused

At NEIA, we are committed to being future-focused, preparing our students for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow. We integrate cutting-edge technology and critical thinking into our curriculum to ensure students are equipped for an ever-changing world. By emphasizing real-world skills and fostering a growth mindset, we empower students to embrace innovation and adapt with confidence.

The people at NEIA that my daughter interacts with daily are pretty amazing. They have such great backgrounds and expertise. I always feel great dropping her off or having her in class, knowing the kind of experience she is gaining."

DAVE, 12TH GRADE PARENT

My son enjoys it. He enjoys being at NEIA and becoming a critical thinker in learning... I see he’s happy, learning, and challenged while also not stressed."

BARBARA, 12TH GRADE PARENT

I have realized how healthy, happy, and balanced my kids are at NEIA. My youngest has learned to advocate for herself more than she did in her last school, and they feel heard, validated, and supported."
