As of the 2016-17 school year, NHA operates 83 charter schools in nine states: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New York, North Carolina, Colorado, Georgia, Louisiana, and Wisconsin. As charter schools, NHA schools are publicly funded schools and charge no tuition. They are authorized by state-approved institutions such as universities and school boards, and therefore have no geographic boundaries. The schools focus on college preparedness and generally serve students from pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.

It is the largest charter school operator in Michigan and one of the largest charter school operators in the United States.
