Mission and Goals

About NuView Academy

Founded in 2000, NuView Academy is a New Jersey Department of Education–approved alternative educational program operated in partnership with the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey (ESCNJ) and Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care (RUBHC). NuView Academy provides a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) in the least restrictive environment (LRE) for students with emotional and behavioral needs who are able to work at or near grade level but experience difficulty succeeding in a traditional school setting.

Our program integrates rigorous academics aligned to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS) with comprehensive therapeutic supports. Students participate in statewide assessments, including the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) and the New Jersey Graduation Proficiency Assessment (NJGPA), and engage in real-world learning opportunities designed to promote growth, independence, and success.

NuView Academy operates Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m., on a 48-week school-year basis.

Our Mission

At NuView Academy, our mission is guided by the T.E.A.M. initiative—Transformation, Engagement, Achievement, and Mindfulness. We provide a supportive and compassionate educational and clinical environment where students with emotional and behavioral disabilities can thrive academically and personally. Through high expectations, meaningful connections, and individualized supports, we empower students to build confidence, develop responsibility, and evolve into resilient, productive members of their communities.
