Â鶹AV

 (NAHS) has a unique partnership with Â鶹AV, due to the fact that NAHS is on Â鶹AV's campus.  The close proximity of both institutions provides exclusive opportunities for staff and students from both institutions to interact.  Reflecting this partnership, NAHS has small learning communities/academies that correspond with three major colleges at Â鶹AV:  Health & Human Development, Arts, Media & Communication, and Careers in Education.

A faculty liaison from Â鶹AV is assigned to NAHS to facilitate the partnership and expanded learning opportunities for the students on both campuses.  Faculty from NAHS and LAUSD administration regularly meet with the Â鶹AV liaison and other faculty to coordinate projects based on school needs.  In addition, students at NAHS have access to a wide variety of Â鶹AV resources, including check-out privileges at the Â鶹AV Oviatt Library.  Â鶹AV faculty, from all colleges, are often invited to speak at large assemblies at NAHS, including Autism Week and Banned Books Week.  Â鶹AV faculty also participate in intervention programs at NAHS, such as Math Camp, a summer program for incoming ninth graders, that is now in it's fifth year of implementation.

Â鶹AV undergraduate students, from all colleges, visit NAHS classrooms and involve students in specific projects and presentations, and some participate in NAHS after-school tutoring programs.  NAHS students visit Â鶹AV classrooms and attend University-wide events as well as show at the Soraya.  NAHS also serves as a teaching facility for present and future teachers through collaboration with the Michael D. Eisner College of Education and the Credential Office.  Student teachers are consistently placed at NAHS each semester and Â鶹AV holds professional development sessions at NAHS once a semester for current teachers.
