Why Do Independent and Private School Students Choose NEC?

With small classes led by faculty who meet you where you are, you’ll experience the same kind of close attention and personal growth that made your independent school experience meaningful. Add in the energy of athletics, opportunities for travel and co-curricular programs, and a community that celebrates your success, and you’ll find NEC is the place where your next chapter begins.

• Personal Attention: Small class sizes, faculty who meet you where you are, and one-on-one mentoring
• Holistic Support: Dedicated advising, academic support services, and a community that invests in your success
• Opportunities Beyond the Classroom: Competitive athletics, Study Away trips, and co-curricular programs that broaden your education and strengthen your leadership
