Norwich An administrative restructuring at Norwich Free Academy forced by budget cuts has brought “the perfect team” to support students and faculty, according to Head of School Brian Kelly.
Kelly announced his plan to restructure the academy’s administration during his budget presentation in January in response to projections of sharp declines in enrollment and the loss of dozens of international students due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Kelly eliminated the five house principals and the director of student affairs position, reworking those duties into new positions. The new group, some new and some NFA veterans, has started working on issues ranging from curriculum to family engagement, professional development and potential new programs.
