What National University Academy does
Mission
National University Academy was dedicated to creating k-12 learning opportunities which were accessible, challenging, and relevant to a diverse population of students. Nua offered site-based and hybrid instruction and online weekend coursework to provide a comprehensive program that created multiple pathways to post secondary and career success. The program emphasized a strong, interdiscplinary academic program, specialized classes and labs, and meaningful and authentic work-based learning experiences.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2018 to 2019, from $8.9M to $3.1M (−65%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
0% of NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACADEMY’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (65% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
