Help give New Beginnings Family Academy students 

a foundation to achieve their full potential! 

 

For nearly 20 years, individuals, foundations and corporations have supported NBFA.

We would not be here without friends like you and the philanthropic support we rely on

each year, especially during these challenging times amidst the pandemic.    

 

                                                           

 

"NBFA is one of a small number of charter schools that has made the emotional well-being

of its children a priority, so important in these stressful times. This school knows that children

learn best when they feel safe. NBFA is committed to integrating Emotionally Responsive 

Practices into both virtual and in-person classroom experience, to enhance a feeling of

social and emotional connection in the community of children it serves.”

Emotionally Responsive Practice at Bank Street College of Education    

 

 

Your contribution today can bring about enduring change in the lives of NBFA students in many ways. Your support can:

• Help prepare each student for long-term success academically, socially and emotionally.
  
  
• Help provide equity in education (As a public charter school, NBFA receives 20% less per student from the state than Bridgeport district schools).
  
  
• Continue to give NBFA students a safe school with a nurturing environment that provides a foundation where they can envision a future of abundance and joy and
  become empathetic future leaders.
  
  
• Contribute toward teacher training on Emotionally Responsive Practice, a relationship-based approach steeped in child development and life experiences developed by psychologists at the Bank Street College of Education, to address students' challenges & free them to learn.
