A Message from the President
In February, 2008, NESI reached its 30th anniversary. Today, I reflect back on words I had written over twenty years ago in November of 1987, and which remain just as relevant today:
Nearly 10 years ago, I had a dream to begin a very special company that would deliver educational services to students who did not attend public schools. Thus, the odd name, Non-Public Educational Services, Inc. came about. This company would try to help and educate private school, Navy, Army, Marine and Air Force enlisted students, adults in prison, school dropouts, and any other students who needed help in a special kind of way. [Decades later, this description of NESI still applies.] Dr. Kenneth Underwood helped me to make the dream a reality. Ken was at my side at the very beginning in February 1978.
We were very lucky. Ken and I won the Virginia NCIA By-Pass contract in March 1979. [This is now the Virginia Title I By-Pass and NESI has won every subsequent competition of this contract and will soon begin our 29th year of service.] We hustled, we hired, we trained, we made mistakes. We learned very fast! Since then, we have been fortunate to obtain contracts throughout the country for the special services NESI has to offer.
We have grown from a company of two people with a dream, to a 'family' including our affiliate Richard Milburn High Schools, Inc. [NESI and Richard Milburn Schools, have more than 700 employees and serve the educational needs of 14,000 students annually in the US and worldwide.] It's not easy trying to put it all together, spread from Massachusetts to Florida, from Virginia to Hawaii. It takes a special management team to do this. [In 2008 those words are still true. I cannot imagine a finer group of managers with the passion and dedication to the educational needs of our students. Brief summaries of our Management team can be found at the top of the page.]
In 1985, NESI was selected by Inc. Magazine as one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States. I look back at the first ten years as the beginning. Now, we are ready to move on to new challenges.
NESI is now further along in providing specialized educational services. We have more than 50 active federal, state, and school district contracts. We provide Title I Education Services, Secondary Educational Services, and Management Services for charter schools, High School Completion, Department of Defense High School Summer School Services, Military Occupational Specialty Training and US Army Forces Command Foreign Language Training.
I thought long and hard about how I wanted to close my message, because there are many people I should thank. But I thought these following words, written in 1987, truly capture my vision for NESI:

"Wherever there is a child or an adult in need of exceptional educational services, personalized tutoring, or specialized training, there is a need for NESI. Help me to help them. Give me your best. I will give you my best."
