The objective of Northview Next Career Center is to help all students between the ages of 15 and 20 acquire a NVPS diploma, regardless of their circumstances.

These programs allow students to pursue hands-on work experience through internships, job shadows and part-time jobs.

Maslow First

Maslow's Hierarchy of School Needs. Self actualization, esteem, belonging, safety, physiological.

Innovated Instruction

Students learn in different ways, each project is uniquely tailored to that student.

Forward Thinking

We face forward: Students work to earn standards – not recover missing credit.
