Empowering Students for Tomorrow's Challenges

Nowell Academy is a charter school located in the Downtown area of Providence, Rhode Island. Nowell was founded in 2013 to provide pregnant and parenting youth a pathway to earn a high school degree, and has since expanded to welcome other students who for numerous and varied reasons benefit from an alternative path to graduation. The school currently serves a population of 167 students, the majority of which reside in the four core cities in Rhode Island, which include Central Falls, Pawtucket, Providence, and Woonsocket.

Nowell aims to provide a small, tight-knit learning environment as we believe this is essential for students to reach their full academic potential. Despite its small size, the Nowell community is greatly enriched by a diverse student body representing a wide range of life experiences, cultures, languages, and abilities. Nowell Academy does its best to serve this diverse population and accommodate students' busy schedules and multiple responsibilities - this is reflected across many areas, including an on-campus childcare center and having enriching co-curricular activities taking place within regular school
