Mission Statement
The Northern Lights Academy (NLA) mission is to support children and youth with significant emotional and behavioral needs, as well as those with low incidence disabilities. We provide academic, social and functional skill development, and mental health services to students from the member school districts of The Northern Lights Special Education Cooperative.
Our goal is to foster learning, promote independence, cultivate social and behavior skills, work in partnerships with families, and support students to become successful learners in their least restrictive environment, as well as active, productive members of our communities.
2026-27 School Year Information
For the 2026-27 school year, the NLA will offer Setting 4 Special Education programs for up to 54 students in grades K-12, who need an alternative educational placement. Contact your school's principal for more information.
