Academy Development: Admissions
Schools can apply to start an academy through our Fast Track or Year of Planning program. Start a NAF academy in your school district by forming a multi-disciplinary team with a shared vision of building partnerships around a unique framework. The NAF approach makes essential opportunities for students possible by connecting students, educators, and businesses to strengthen communities.
NAF promotes full district engagement in creating NAF academies to maximize successful and sustained academy development. Explore the admissions options to choose the program that best aligns your local programming goals with NAF's design, then use the Interest Survey as a guide to assess readiness to start a NAF academy.
To start your application, contact the Director of Emerging Academies, Jennifer Geisler. Please specify your district, high school, and the desired admissions program. All applications are subject to approval to ensure mission alignment.
