Northern Academy

Northern Academy Northern Academy is an award-winning college preparatory high school and middle school in Middletown, NY. It’s that simple.

It all began when a rocket scientist, a math professor, a doctor, a dancer, and an award-winning educator came together and started talking about the complex challenges that schools and our youth face today. In their impassioned conversations, they kept coming back to the same answer: it's time to make a priority of providing students with a safe and secure place to develop character. Success, wis

dom, and a deeply satisfying life all come organically from that foundation. Read more:

🌟 Field Day 2026 – Part 2: Connections, Laughter & Smiles 🌟

Beyond the games and activities, Field Day was all about connection: making new friends, cheering each other on, sharing laughs, and creating memories together.

These are the moments that make a school year special - not just the activities we do, but the people we share them with.🥰

🎉 Field Day 2026 - Part 1: A Fun-filled Start to the New School Year! 🎉

What better way to welcome all our students back than with a day full of energy, teamwork, and laughter?

Our teachers jumped right in to lead a variety of fun activities, from Archery, Volleyball, Soccer, Chalk Art, Jump Rope, to Basketball, Frisbee, Dodgeball, and more! It was wonderful to see students connecting, competing, cheering each other on, and simply enjoying time together.

And to cool things down, everyone enjoyed refreshing ice cream generously prepared by NAPO (Northern Academy Parent Organization) and served with a helping hand from our Key Club. 🍦

What a lively and memorable way to begin a new school year together!

🤾🏼‍♂️✨ We Were Asked...
❓"How to Entertain Kids During the Unplugged Experience?" ❓
And Dr. Tim Sun shared his thoughts:
⛹🏻‍♀️ Let kids be Kids
❌ Do Not take things away from them
✅ But Replace it with healthy options

Why?
⚡️ Because kids always have a lot of energy and need to get busy to burn it off.

❌📱 When mindfully engaged in intensive classes such as Science, Dance, Art, and Sports, they no longer pay attention to electronic devices.

🍀🏕️ That's the reason NAA uses blackboards with chalk instead of high-tech display devices. And we let our kids go back to nature, to the green grass, golden sun, and open air, so they get to run quick, jump high, and swing around.

🚂🌿 All Aboard for an Adventure!

🚴‍♀️ The NAA Schoolhouse students had fun learning outdoors with an exciting Rail Explorers adventure in Phoenicia!

Pedaling through the beautiful forest, listening to the river, and laughing along the way, our students enjoyed a memorable day filled with teamwork, friendship, and exploration.

🌲💚 From the little train rides to the joyful whistle-blowing, every moment was an adventure full of memories together beyond the classroom! ✨

✨ 🤩 Big Fun with the Giant Snakes Game

🤾🏼‍♂️ Our NAA Schoolhouse students started with a fun and energetic Giant Snakes icebreaker! Each pair battled it out with rock-paper-scissors, and the winner led their line to challenge another team. 🪨📄✂️

🏆 As the lines grew longer, so did the excitement! The game continued until two giant snakes faced off in the final round to determine the ultimate champion.

😍 Laughter, teamwork, friendly competition, and new connections made this the perfect way to break the ice! 💚

✨ 😍 WelcomeWelcome Back to NAA Schoolhouse!

🏡🎶 A wonderful new school year begins at NAA Schoolhouse! We were delighted to welcome our students and introduce them to Dr. Michael Fitzgerald, our Principal, as well as the caring teachers and staff who will guide and support them throughout the year.

✨ Here’s to a joyful year of learning, growing, and building wonderful memories together! 🌿

✨🤸‍♀️ Strong in body 💖 Gentle in heart 🪭Graceful in spirit.

🪭 Chinese Classical Dance is more than learning choreography: It is a journey of Character, Artistry, and Self-Discovery.

🤸‍♀️ Through every stretch, turn, leap, and expressive movement, we build strength, flexibility, coordination, and confidence while learning the values of discipline, perseverance, respect, and teamwork.

🌞🌻 From elegant dance combinations to partner skills and martial arts foundations, every class helps us as young dancers grow in both technique and character.

🌳🎨 Tree vs Artist - Each Has Their Own Story

👩‍🎨 With watercolor in hand and nature as their guide, our campers explored the many shapes, textures, and shades of trees found around the Northern garden.

🖼️ Each painting reflects careful observation, growing technique, and a unique artistic style.

🌄 From simple sketches to vibrant masterpieces, creativity flourishes when children learn from the world around them.

🌞✨ At NAA, every brushstroke helps young artists see nature with fresh eyes.

🎨 Nature - True Inspiration of Every Artist 🌿

🖼️ During the Art & Craft camp, we stepped into the beautiful Northern garden, chose a favorite corner, and painted it live with watercolor.

⛲ From blooming flowers and fountains to leafy trees, every artwork reflects a unique perspective and growing confidence. Learning to slow down, notice details, and express creativity, one brushstroke at a time, we are following the steps of great artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo.

👩‍🎨 At NAA, every outdoor moment becomes an inspiration for our future artists.
