Small. Safe. Successful.
North Lakes Academy is a tuition-free public college preparatory school for students in grades five through twelve.
Serving the Lakes area since 1999, North Lakes Academy provides a personalized learning environment designed to meet a wide variety of academic needs. With strong core subjects and a full complement of liberal arts courses, NLA provides quality learning in a responsive learning atmosphere.
In 2008 NLA was granted approval from the state of Minnesota to expand to serve students in grades 5-12. The first graduating was the class of 2011!
Students feel safe at NLA in classes of about 20 students where teachers can meet individual needs and learning styles. Teachers know their students by name, and both students and teachers alike truly care for each other - the NLA community is close-knit and comfortable.
NLA students succeed because teachers set high expectations, and then help students meet those goals. NLA's Code of Conduct reflects that approach: All behavior will contribute in a positive way to the learning community.
