National Heritage Academies, Inc.
National Heritage Academies, Inc (NHA) is a for-profit organization that currently operates 85 elementary, middle, and high schools in nine states across the United States. NHA was founded in 1995 by entrepreneur J.C. Huizenga with the mission of “creating an education system capable of making a lasting difference in the lives of children” by providing quality educational programs to students from kindergarten through 12th grade. NHA has the unique distinction among private K–12 providers not only as being one of America’s leading charter school operators but also as being one of only two organizations in existence today providing both district management services and traditional brick-and-mortar schools, such as those found under public school systems. The model developed by NHA comprises four essential components: autonomous operation with oversight from a central office; teacher development; parental involvement; and community support and collaboration.
