NARIOP is the acronym for New Light At Risk Intergenerational Outreach Program.

Our Purpose

NARIOP serves a three-fold purpose: First to provide a high-quality learning experience and environment for all students. Secondly, to engage our students who have not been able to connect in their regular classroom setting. Lastly, to partner with Guilford County Schools, embracing and emphasizing their goals and objectives for student learning and to develop a relationship with NARIOP and parents/ guardians.

Purpose

Servicing Guilford County Schools

NARIOP serves GCS elementary, middle, and high school students who recieved a short-term suspension up to ten days. NARIOP offers students in elementary, middle, and high schools, a structured program by providing an atmosphere conducive to learning and enhancing character development. 

In 2003, Guilford County Schools partnered with Reverend Dr. Cardes H. Brown, Jr. and New Light Missionary Baptist Church for over 30 years to develop an opportunity for students to engage in an alternative learning environment while suspended from school. Our purpose is to encourage students to successfully transition back into their respective schools effectively.
