Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy

Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy (NSAA) is a California Public Charter School, authorized by the San Bernardino County Office of Education. NSAA was established in August 2008 and opened with grades K-2. Each year the school will expand an additional grade with the goal of becoming a K-12 school by the year 2018.

Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy is a Dual Immersion Program School which supports our charter educational goals. Our goal is for all students to be able to speak, read, and write in English and Spanish in all academic areas after continued attendance in the program for five (5) years. (For more detailed information about how a dual immersion program works and for research based information, please click on the Dual Immersion link on the webpage.)

The mission of the Norton Space and Aeronautics Academy (NSAA) is to provide opportunities for equal educational access to a culturally, linguistically, socially, and economically diverse population of students within a nurturing, participatory educational environment aligned to academic standards, based on high quality, research based teaching methods, and supported by public and private sector partnerships.

The vision and goal of the NSAA is to reach the underserved population of residents surrounding the former Norton Air Force Base. The advantage of the location near the former Air Force base is the surrounding aeronautical and engineering businesses that have pledged their support, offering partnerships that will enable underserved students to experience real-life science.

Students at the NSAA will benefit from already established partnerships with NASA, JPL, and the Lewis Center for Educational Research. Partnering with the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and California State University, San Bernardino (CSUSB), will benefit students as the NSAA puts research-guided programs into best practices in the areas of teacher training, curriculum development and pedagogy.

Offering a safe haven for educational enhancement and activities will allow the underserved children in the surrounding area to increase learning opportunities.
