We Would Love to Hear From You

Yes, North River Charter Academy is in its first years of operation, and we are proud of it. Being new means we have built every system, every classroom, and every relationship with intention — from scratch. Our leadership team brings experience and our STEAM-based educational model is grounded in proven, research-backed practices. Families who enroll now are part of something exciting: helping to shape a school community from day one.

As North River Charter Academy is in its first year of operation, we do not yet have state assessment data to report. Our first measurable academic results will be available after the 2026–2027 school year, when eligible grade levels begin participating in state testing. What we can share is our commitment to a rigorous, hands-on STEAM curriculum, a data-driven support system (MTSS), and small class sizes where every student is known and supported.

Yes, North River Charter Academy offers area-wide bus transportation. We also have a structured carline process. Student hours are 8 AM–3 PM, with a tardy bell at 8:05 AM. Before care is available starting at 7 AM, and after care runs until 6 PM. Contact us directly to ask about bus routes serving your neighborhood.

Absolutely. Our STEAM model does not replace academic rigor — it deepens it. Students still master foundational skills in reading and mathematics, but they apply that knowledge through hands-on, project-based learning that builds critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. Research consistently shows that project-based approaches lead to stronger long-term retention and engagement. If you would like to see it in action, we encourage you to schedule a campus tour.

That is a completely fair question, and we respect your comfort with what is working. What we invite you to consider is whether your child is also being challenged in new ways, taught to think creatively, and supported as an individual. North River Charter Academy offers a small-school family culture, a unique STEAM learning model, and a growing community of engaged families. Schedule a tour and see if it feels like the right fit — no pressure, just a conversation.

North River Charter Academy, operated by North River Charter Academy Inc, is a tuition-free public charter school. Enrollment is offered on a first-come, first-served basis until each grade level reaches capacity. Once seats are filled, additional applicants are entered into a lottery. To get started, contact us or visit our campus during tour hours, Monday through Friday between 8:15 AM and 2:15 PM.
