Northpoint Expeditionary Learning Academy (NELA) opened with room for 100 ninth grade students in the fall of 2006. NELA has added a grade each school year and by the fall of 2009, we will be a 9-12 high school.

Prescott is one of only twelve communities in the United States to receive a major grant from Expeditionary Learning Schools Outward Bound (with funds provided by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation) to create a new, small, rigorous high school based on the highly acclaimed Expeditionary Learning model.

Expeditionary Learning offers:
College Preparation, Compelling Topics, Hands-On Learning, Service Opportunities, Close Relationships
Emphasis on Reading & Writing, Inquiry-Based Math, Science, & Social Studies, Integrated Art
