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 is 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.The Neighborhood Academy is fully accredited by the Pennsylvania Association of Independent Schools (PAIS), and is a member of the Pittsburgh Consortium of Independent Schools, the Nativity Miguel Network of Schools, and the Schools That Can network.

Our curriculum and program intentionally focus on providing a college-preparatory education to students who demonstrate financial need. Our unique approach includes an extended school day (8 AM to 7:30 PM), very small classes, close and ongoing communication with families, and a college-preparatory curriculum that culminates in senior seminars in the humanities and sciences. At The Neighborhood Academy, we provide students with a private-school, college-preparatory education they would not otherwise be able to obtain. To help our students succeed academically, we also provide counseling, transportation, three meals a day, and assistance with emergency needs like medical care. The breadth of our services to students is based on the belief that there are times students face unique challenges and need much more than #28;school#29; to learn.
