After a lengthy and emotional discussion, NAWA Academy's Board of Directors voted unanimously to close NAWA Academy effective the end of the third academic block on Thursday, March 15, 2012.

This action was taken due to the following reasons:
1) Low numbers of enrolled students with no prospects for new students arriving in the immediate future.
2) Difficulty in meeting future financial obligations.
3) The end of Block 3 was Wednesday, March 14 when current enrolled students would have completed their current classes and respective units.

"This is very sad ending to a wonderful program that has made a huge difference in the lives of Nawa students and their parents." Said Curtis Byron, Chairman of the Board. "[The NAWA staff] has been responsible […] for helping our students to change their lives in a positive way and point to the future with a deserved optimism."

NAWA Academy has been a leader in experiential education since 1988. Practicing the proverb "I heard and I forgot. I saw and I remembered. I did and I understood."

NAWA Academy leaves a legacy of success for the non-traditional, hands-on learner. Nawa has touched countless people over the past 24 years, and with programs such as the Study Abroad International Program and a Cultural Exchange program, the Nawa family has spread world-wide.
