National Heritage Academies, Inc. (NHA) is a for-profit charter school management organization headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[1] It was formed in 1995 by entrepreneur J. C. Huizenga. NHA schools use the NWEA test as a measure of student performance.

As of the 2015-16 school year, NHA operates 81 charter schools in nine states: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin. As charter schools, NHA schools are publicly funded schools and charge no tuition. They are authorized by state-approved institutions such as universities and school boards, and therefore have no geographic boundaries. The schools focus on college preparedness and serve students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade, (depending on the school).

It is the largest charter school operator in Michigan and one of the largest charter school operators in the United States.[2]

Operations

National Heritage Academies' stated objectives are: NHA partners with local boards to build and operate charter public schools that serve students in grades K-8.[3]
