WBZ News: Innovation, Projects Are Priorities For New Marlborough Boarding School

December 5, 2022

WBZ News Reports: The New England Innovation Academy in Marlborough, Massachusetts, is offering its students hands-on entrepreneurial and design experience as part of their curriculum. The academy, which also emphasizes student interests in humanities, arts, languages, math, and science, has students invent and design a product using 3D printing and other design tools, then make and sell 20 of the products at its spring Sales Gala. NEIA Founding Board Member & Trustee Matthew Kressy said the program teaches design, entrepreneurship, sales, and marketing. Students say they appreciate the school’s focus on hands-on learning and connection with their teachers.

NEIA is proud to announce that the NEIA Board of Trustees has formed a senior advisory group to counsel us on areas of improvement in all aspects of the school and to serve as a resource as we refine our curriculum and program.

Welcome Rick Hardy, Amir Reza, and Erdin Beshimov. We are so excited to work with you!

After joining us here at NEIA, Ricky Hardy says, "Some years ago, when I first talked with my friend Jane Du about her vision–to build a school that would be a laboratory for testing new ideas about education, a model for schools across the world, and a place where kids could thrive–I was excited. Now, after seeing NEIA take shape over the past two years, I am even more thrilled to be here. It is a privilege to be around students and teachers once again, and to feel that unmistakable energy of a true learning community, one whose values–empathy, creativity, and community–are ones I deeply believe in. I also believe that the world needs NEIA because it is built on a vital principle: that a school must have the capacity to evolve, to respond to changes in the world around it, and thereby to inspire students to be thoughtful stewards of that world. NEIA is just such a school, and I am honored to be a part of it."

Yesterday, Matt Forcier of LMV Productions spoke to Baldev’s Entrepreneurship class. He presented his real-world experience as a film production business owner. Matt shared with students his process of team building, business development, and, most importantly, believing in yourself. His message was taking every opportunity to be involved in your business and focus on what you are passionate about.
