NSAA is a California Public Charter School, authorized by the San Bernardino County Office of Education. It was established in August 2008 and opened with grades K-2. Each year the school adds an additional grade with the goal of becoming a K-12 school by the year 2018.

NSAA is a Dual Immersion Program School which supports our charter educational goals including teaching Science every day starting in Kindergarten.
