What We Teach

NACA provides an academic program that reflects a commitment to student academic achievement, cultural connections, and creative electives.

English/language arts classes foster literacy skills and knowledge and, at the middle school level, students connect to indigenous cultures through additional Native Literature and tiered reading classes.
In social studies students explore New Mexican, US and world history and geography and create projects and presentations for National History Day.
Numeracy is fostered through the Connected Math Program in middle school and Interactive Math Program in high school.
General investigation, life, earth, the environment and biology are all topics that are “uncovered” in science.
Health and wellness are central to NACA’s Personal Wellness classes which are offered from grades 6-10.
Students also connect to culture in Dine Government and Lakota, Navajo, Tiwa, and Spanish language classes.
Additionally, to stimulate our students’ creativity, NACA offers classes in visual art, drama, video production and music.

NACA is a Title I school.
Title I is a federally funded program that offers additional federal dollars to support schools in areas with high free-reduced lunch numbers. Additionally, each Title I school receives funds for parent involvement. These funds come from the 1% set-aside from the APS Title I District budget. 95% of these funds are distributed to schools for their parent involvement programs. NACA currently receives $856.00 in parent involvement funds.
