I love this school. It is one of the great schools that let's the individual achieve it's fullest potential. Today, small community is the answer to molding the character and academics and NLMA exceeds those expectations. It is affordable and has a diverse student population. All of what you want come

An exceptional small school choice. The philosophy about children and the emotional social safety are a plus. I have had 2 children attend from preschool thru to middle school.

The student/teacher ratio is amazingly low and we feel this really matters. Each of our children gets a lot of personal attention. Since the number of students is small, the whole community becomes close. The best part of the school is the philosophy -- respecting yourself and others and non-violent conflict resolution are the cornerstones. Parent involvement is encouraged and homework is minimal.
