What is NHA in education?

The NHA approach includes a blend of one-on-one teaching, small group instruction, and time for independent practice. Our teachers invest time identifying each student’s unique needs so they can specifically tailor plans, set goals, and meet their needs. This framework creates smaller learning environments within the classroom, and ensures students are properly supported to meet their individual learning goals. This also allows teachers to track progress and adjust instruction to ensure each child’s success.

What is ELA instruction?

Our ELA instruction provides a healthy balance of opportunities for students to practice fluency, collaborate with others, participate in writing workshops, and work alongside teachers in small groups to develop ELA skills . Students also practice independently with books they’ve personally chosen from a variety of published works.

What is ELA in school?

Our English Language Arts (ELA) program prioritizes the ability to decode, read with fluency, and gain capacity to comprehend increasingly more complex material across a range of types, topics, and disciplines.

How does ELA help students?

We focus on integrating ELA skills and proficiency by infusing informational, nonfiction literature with other subjects including math, science, and social studies. Research shows that incorporating ELA into other subjects helps to close learning gaps by providing essential background knowledge, especially for upper elementary and middle school.

6th - 8th Grade

Middle school is a time of personal growth and discovery. Students have the skills to nurture their academic strengths and interests, exploring complex ideas in all subject areas. Building on previous knowledge and skills, children can apply higher-level thinking to reach beyond the classroom.
