Nawa Academy

Nawa Academy practices the proverb, "I heard and I forgot. I saw and I remembered. I did and I understood." In support of this, John Dewey, a progressive educator of the late 19th century, once said that the term, experiential education is redundant. In order to learn, we need to experience what we are studying. Quoting Mr. Dewey, "Experiential education is education, pure and simple."

Who does well at Nawa Academy

Nawa Academy puts the "I did and I understood" back into education with its experiential (hands-on) educational approach that is ideally suited for non-traditional learners. This approach has proven to be effective for students who desire a more interactive educational experience and for students with learning differences, attention deficit, time management, organizational, and motivational issues.

Many students enter Nawa Academy desiring a blend of education and adventure. Others enroll because they are frustrated with large classes and feel that they are not achieving their potential. At Nawa Academy, students find that it is easier to focus on their studies because they are actively involved in each class.

The Academics

Our goal is to provide each student with a top quality education. Students may choose college preparatory, general or vocational education. Along with Nawa Academy's hands-on approach, students learn to write research papers, use computers and conduct scientific research.
