The mission of The New America School is to empower new immigrants, English language learners, and academically underserved students with the educational tools and support they need to maximize their potential, succeed and live the American dream.
"The opportunity that NAS provides for students when they [have]
dropped out of another school? gives them a chance to actually continue their education
and to know that someone cares about them." - Marissa Batalla
"The main reason I chose NAS was because there is so much diversity
and because of that you can get to know people from other countries and learn about
different cultures." - Jose L. Serrano
"I picked NAS because of its flexible hours, which allow me to study,
work and learn English at the same time." - Mara Gonzalez
"Our NAS English class is GREAT! Thanks to our awesome English Teacher,
the ELA students are now joining student council. They are comfortable with the
new language and can understand what is going on!" - Jasmine Cepeda
"Thanks to our flexible schedule, students are now able to finish
school on time and not miss work or any other activities outside of school. You
can also organize your schedule depending on what you need." - Tannia
Borjas
"Everyone here has a goal, and that goal is to finish high school."
- Angel Haro
"The teachers at NAS try and help you succeed to better your future
and to be prepared for the real life. They can also be your friends and give you
support in every aspect of your life." - Marissa Batalla

Welcome to The New America School website
The New America School (NAS) is a system of public charter high schools dedicated
to serving a unique population - recent immigrants, their families and children
who want to learn or perfect English and earn a high school diploma.
We are a fully accredited, publicly funded institution that serves young adults,
ages 15-21. Our highly qualified staff provides intensive English language instruction
and a rigorous academic curriculum to help students fulfill their dream of a better
future.
At The New America School we believe educational opportunity is a cornerstone of
American life and that English language skills are an essential component.
NAS was created to serve English language learners and unenrolled students who might
lack the English skills to succeed in mainstream high schools.
New America schools are located in diverse communities where the need is greatest.
We have three campuses in the metro Denver area: The
NAS-Denver
campus, located in the Globeville neighborhood of Denver; the
NAS-Lowry
campus, located in the Lowry Field neighborhood of Denver; and the
NAS-Lakewood
campus, located in Lakewood, Colorado approximately one mile from the Sloans Lake
neighborhood of Denver.
