The NEIA values of equity, agency, and adaptability are deeply embedded in this approach, ensuring that students, or 'innovators,' develop skills crucial for the next generation of leaders. NEIA's educational process extends beyond traditional classrooms, encompassing activities like advocacy groups, explorations, residential programs, service projects, expeditions, and internships. These activities embody and promote NEIA's values, striving to provide an innovative, relevant, and future-focused learning experience. At its core, NEIA believes in the transformative power of empathy, curiosity, and collaboration in making a positive impact on the world.
