UNITED WAY #221578Our students come from a total of 20 neighborhoods throughout Allegheny County. Statistics on our student body from the 2006-2007 school year include the following:
HISTORY
The Neighborhood Academy began in 1993 as an innovative summer school program for at-risk youth. Drawing upon her work with the Larimer Avenue Youth Club, a youth ministry that met urban youth in their own neighborhoods, founder Josephine Moore together with Reverend Thomas Johnson, designed The Neighborhood Academy Summer School - an intensive five-week skill-building program for seventh through eleventh graders. In response to the success of the summer school, The Neighborhood Academy opened its doors as a full year day school to its first class of eighth and ninth graders on September 12, 2001. To date we have graduated 32 students and have a 100% college acceptance rate!
