Welcome to NAMS

Our Mission

We are an educational organization of life long learners involving students, educators, parents and our community. Together we strive to create a welcoming environment that prioritizes academic excellence, creativity and mutual respect. We embrace diversity and encourage positive risk taking and community building. We are persistent in becoming an exemplary high performing comprehensive middle school.

North Andover Middle School provides a developmental middle school approach to learning. We recognize individual learning styles as we focus on process writing, mathematics using manipulatives, and the inquiry approach in all subjects, including science and social studies. Our classroom environments support critical and creative thinking, cooperative and individual learning with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary curriculum.

    Mental Health Awareness Day

    On Wednesday May 24th the Mental Health Awareness Club at NAHS is hosting a day long event  to raise awareness for people with mental illnesses in the school community. It can be very difficult for many people to navigate and communicate about their mental health and they want to help students feel comfortable about their mental health and feel confident in asking for help if they need it. This event will be a great educational experience for everyone who attends..

    The program will be open to the public from 1:00-2:00 to visit the Exhibitors in the Field House, a list of participants can be found at below, and at 2:00 pm, the public is welcome to attend Dr. Dana Osoweicki’s presentation in the  NAHS auditorium.
