Small By Design
New Village Academy is small by design so that everyone knows one another, structures are flexible, and individualized education for each student is possible. We are open to approximately 150 Anne Arundel County students in Grades 9-12, growing to 250 over our first few years. We are located within the Annapolis city public transportation network, near both underserved communities and a wide variety of workplace opportunities and community resources. Students have access to specialized and advanced classes and career certifications through our partnership with Anne Arundel Community College.
