New England Innovation Academy

My son goes to NEIA. We love it because NEIA is a school that truly sees and nurtures every student, with small classes that allow for individual attention, flexibility, and a deep commitment to humanity and growth.

Much of American education optimizes for compliance: sit down, memorize, perform, move on. It rewards right answers over original thinking and produces strong test-takers, not always builders. NEIA was different. It prepared me for volatility.... for tech that doesn’t exist yet and rooms where designers, engineers, founders, and investors all think differently. As a boarding student, I was building, leading, failing (often), and getting coached through it. I transferred from a top-ranked private boarding high school located in Andover MA, and NEIA still asked more of me. You don’t hide or fly low here. Innovation isn’t a class...it’s the culture. You learn IQ and EQ, strategy and design, and how to speak across disciplines. It doesn’t promise comfort. It builds capability.
