National Academy Foundation School is a public secondary school located in Baltimore, Maryland. It is based on the NAF educational design to have "small learning communities."
The school was launched in 2002 and was housed in the Port Discovery building in Downtown Baltimore. In 2004 it was moved to the first floor of Digital Harbor High School. In 2009 NAF moved to Dunbar Middle School to form a campus with Paul Laurence Dunbar High School . NAF has five different academies that students may choose to pursue, starting in their 10th grade year: Academy of Finance, Academy of Hospitality and Tourism, Academy of Information Technology, Academy of Engineering and the Academy of Law. At graduation student will receive a Maryland state diploma with a certification of the academy they chose. In 2010 National Academy Foundation adopted a middle school, NAF prep; which is housed in the former Thomas J. Hayes school building.
While NAF was housed on the first floor of Digital Harbor High School both schools combined as one team. In 2010 NAF received its own Athletics Department. The NAF football team went through the regular season undefeated, but ultimately lost in the city championships to Paul Laurence Dunbar High School.
