The New Albany-Plain Local School District is located in the heart of Ohio about 20 miles northeast of Columbus. Founded in 1837, the Village of New Albany was primarily rural before significant residential and commercial development arrived some 150 years later. Unlike some suburban communities that have sprawling, unregulated growth, New Albany is developing as a "balanced" 21st Century village in which business enterprises, developers, and schools share a common vision. Partnerships are key elements in community growth.
The school district serves an area of 26 square miles, and features eight buildings all on one centrally located campus. The schools are connected by tree-lined walkways, and are surrounded by an 80-acre nature preserve. New Albany-Plain Local provides education to approximately 3,760 students in grades K-12. NA-PL is the only school district in Ohio in which every school is designated a National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence by the U.S. Department of Education. All of the district's schools have been accredited by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges.
The mission of the New Albany-Plain Local School District is to create a Learning Community that empowers our young people to develop the knowledge, talents, and virtues necessary for success in a changing world.
