N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts (NASA) is a Transitional Kindergarten through Fifth grade elementary school near downtown Los Angeles, in the Pico Union/Westlake neighborhood. The area was and is a high density area that is largely populated with Latino immigrant families and identified with poverty. New Economics for Women, through its work to improve the lives of Latinas and their families, and as a community development organization in the early 2000s, saw the need for a school that would empower and help families in the Pico Union/Westlake. N.E.W. Academy of Science and Arts was the inception of New Economics for Women and the school first opened its doors in 2003 upon authorization by LAUSD. It included goals for equipping low-income students for academic success and community participation in a child-centered environment where students work cooperatively, think critically and are self-directed as well as respect cultural diversity.
