Description
The National Academy Foundation (NAF) was created as a partnership between
business leaders and educators to address the need to prepare students for
professional careers. NAF was founded by Sanford I. Weill, Chairman
Emeritus of Citigroup Inc. NAF serves over 50,000 students in over 500
Academies in 41 states and the District of Columbia in urban schools
through small learning communities.
The National Academy Foundation operates four Academies: the Academy of
Finance, the Academy of Engineering, the Academy of Hospitality & Tourism,
and the Academy of Information Technology. Employees of more than 2,500
corporations are involved with local Academies, securing internships,
volunteering in classrooms, acting as mentors and serving on local
Advisory Boards. The NAF curriculum contains essential content based on
industry and educational expertise. NAF's record of success with 90%
graduation rates and more than 80% of these graduates going on to college,
has garnered the support of corporations and public policy makers,
including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
