Why Malden Center families come to NECA

How the school works
Your child is tested in each subject and placed where they actually are — not where their birthday says they should be. They set their own daily goals, work at their own desk, and can't move forward until they've mastered the material at 80% or better. A student who is ahead in math isn't held back. A student who needs another two weeks on fractions gets another two weeks. Nobody gets left behind and nobody gets bored.
