Along with two middle schools and two comprehensive high schools, NUSD also has an Education Center housing a continuation high school (Marin Oaks), and an independent study student program (NOVA) serving grades 6-12. Special assistance is provided for all English learner students.
NUSD also offers Adult Education classes including a Diploma Class, Credit Recovery, GED Prep, and English as a Second Language Class (ESL). These programs serve adults who have not yet completed their high school education as well as those wanting to continue their education.
Volunteers are welcome and numerous throughout the district. Parent groups, including School Fuel, NUSD’s educational foundation, augment the athletic and fine arts programs.
