School Mission
The objective of Northview Next Learning Center is to help all students between the ages of 15 and 20 acquire a NVPS diploma, regardless of their circumstances. To that end, Northview Next Learning Center will offer extended hours of operation, including summer and evening hours, so that students can design a schedule that accommodates work requirements, health issues or other barriers to participating in a traditional high school schedule.

We guarantee students who graduate from Northview Next will feel prepared and inspired to be life-long learners.”

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