Nile Union Academy is a Seventh-day Adventist Christian boarding high school. We are owned and operated by the Egypt-Sudan Field Office of Seventh-day Adventist Church. We accept the Old and New Testament scriptures as our creed and we teach Jesus Christ as the savior of the world. Our educational system is patterned after the American educational system which values class attendance, participation, and performance as the base of its education. NUA adheres to a blueprint for education that was originally conceived in the Old Testament “School of the Prophets” that seeks to daily train and teach young people through instruction, activities, relationships, work, responsibility, consequences, and life experiences. 
All classes at NUA are taught in English except for second language classes. Our discipline style is consequence oriented, rather than shame based. It is our desire that students will not only succeed academically, but will upon graduation leave NUA with the foundation to succeed morally, socially, and spiritually in life. We believe that integrity and honor of our head, heart, and hands must be the foundation of a life surrendered to God.
NUA embraces a work-study philosophy. It is not a school to just come up with academic solutions and have the attitude that is needed to achieve these solutions, but a school to help students accomplish what needs to be done. We teach students to do life chores; to share the tasks of community living; to reduce their family’s financial investment in their education. To develop a work ethic that embraces necessary work of every kind. These days the meaning of ‘hand’ has been expanded beyond manual labor to taking on any task that helps survival of ourselves, our community and our nation– to move beyond can-do to has-done.
