We welcome tours at NELA. If you would like to come see our classes, just give us a call. There are amazing things happening at Northpoint that we want to share with everyone.

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
