Q: Will there be transportation?

As a small school open to a very large geographic area, we will not be able to provide school buses. However, we have negotiated free transportation on public transit for both Annapolis City and Anne Arundel County public transit buses and our intended location at Westfield Annapolis Mall is the destination for most of those routes. We are happy to help you figure out the closest route to your home.

Q: What kind of student is a "good fit" for New Village Academy?

ANY student who CHOOSES this approach - who WANTS the additional choice and responsibility of taking the lead in their own education is a "good fit!" Parents, be sure to involve your child actively in the decision to attend! Students, if traditional middle or high school has been uninspiring or limiting for you; if you want get involved in "being the change" in Annapolis and the world; or if you have particular interests you don't want to wait until graduation to pursue, you will thrive at New Village!

Q: Who can attend New Village Academy?

New Village Academy is a public school of choice within AACPS so any student going into grades 9-12 who lives in Anne Arundel County can attend. Our first-year enrollment will 150 students ( increasing each year until we serve 250 students in Year 4). Immigration status does not affect admission to New Village Academy. We welcome families of all backgrounds, languages, religions, identities, shapes and sizes.

Q: When and where will New Village Academy open?

We will open in Fall 2025. We received unanimous Board of Education approval in August 2023 and have been working since then to negotiate a lease with Westfield for a second-level space in Annapolis Mall (above the Container Store), with its own separate entrance and a second-level (shared) parking area. The Mall is an ideal location for our unique school model, because it is a community and transportation hub with lots of opportunities for partnerships, internships, and community action projects!
