NHA: The Basics
We are an academy for student athletes in 5th -12th grades who are in search of quality academics, structured hockey development, and faith based culture.
The hockey teams travel through the day as a class. Our small class sizes allow for collaborative work, small group teaching, and independent pacing of coursework.
Our goal is to provide a safe environment for your child to grow as a player, as a student, and as a leader in the community. We strive to provide opportunity for each individual goal set by our students.
faith first
At NHA, chapel is at the heart of our community. Each week, students gather in a welcoming space to worship through song, hear inspiring messages from guest speakers, and grow together in faith.
Our foundation is built on the Word of God, guiding athletes to grow in their relationship with Jesus and live out their faith with integrity and purpose.
We strive to be the hands and feet of Jesus, showing His love through acts of kindness, compassion, and support. Whether it’s helping classmates, volunteering locally, or reaching beyond our campus, we encourage students to live with purpose and make a meaningful impact in the world around them.
