Mission
The mission of New Village Girls Academy is to provide a high quality, engaging educational opportunity with integrated support services for young women, especially those for whom the challenging circumstances of their lives have led to previous school failure and alienation. Our school community welcomes and empowers young women (ages 14-21) from Los Angeles County who are navigating the foster care and probation systems, struggling with early pregnancy and single parenting, and fighting to survive abuse, criminal acts, poverty and social exclusion. We provide authentic educational experiences and critical social-emotional learning so they can achieve academic and developmental success in high school and discover a clear path to college, vocational training or meaningful employment.

Academic and Social-Emotional Learning Program
New Village is an all-girls public charter high school located in the Rampart neighborhood near downtown Los Angeles. We are part of the Big Picture Learning network. Our program is chartered by the Los Angeles Unified School District and accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Enrollment is open to all young women in Los Angeles County, ages 14-21. We specifically reach out to those who are hard to serve, have histories of school failure and/or are facing extreme personal circumstances that make attending and succeeding in a traditional high school unlikely. Our rigorous A-G curriculum, including an exciting STEM Program, qualifies our graduates for admission to California universities and four-year college programs. Work readiness training, mentored internships, wellness programming and the development of strong social-emotional skills help even the most alienated students to re-engage in their education, develop a realistic plan for after graduation.

Balance sheetFiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30
The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
