Contents

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 it moved to Dunbar Middle School to form a campus with Paul Laurence Dunbar High School. The National Academy Foundation 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 Academy of Law. At graduation, students receive a Maryland state diploma with a certification of the academy they chose.

In 2010 National Academy Foundation adopted a middle school, National Academy Foundation prep; which is housed in the former Thomas G. Hayes elementary school building.
