IN THEIR OWN WORDS
New Day Academy, a 6-12 secondary school, was founded on the belief that excellent teachers not only know their subjects well, but also know each and every student well. We teach a core curriculum of Humanities, Math and Science with additional classes in Art. We expect our students to become critical readers, writers, thinkers and problem solvers. The heart of our school is an Advisory program where advisors get to know their students from both an academic and a personal perspective. Our vision and mission is to instill the Habits of Mind and the Habits of Work.
