STUDENT LIFE
FREEDOM TO FIND YOUR PATH!
At Norwood-Fontbonne Academy, students are active and engaged in and out of the classroom as they learn to be leaders in areas where they are most passionate.
The depth and breadth of the programs offered — athletic, music, theater, STEM, service-learning— encourage our students to explore their interests and pursue their true potential.
"NFA’s vision helped shape who I am today. Here, I learned to take ownership of my learning and build strong relationships within this community. I discovered the importance of perseverance and a growth mindset, even when the work felt overwhelming. NFA taught me to be confident in who I am, to embrace differences, and to treat others with kindness and respect. Whether it was standing up for a friend, advocating for myself in class, or simply being open-minded to feedback, these values have become part of who I am."
