History
editNABA was founded in Milan in 1980.[citation needed]
In 1994 the Nuova Accademia received one of the forty "Ambrogino" certificates of civic merit awarded each year by the Comune of Milan.[2]
In 2008 NABA began hosting a "node" of the Planetary-Collegium research platform of the University of Plymouth.[3]
NABA was bought by Bastogi Spa of Milan in 2002. In December 2009 Bastogi sold it to Laureate Education of Baltimore, Maryland, for €22 million.[4][5] In 2017, Laureate Education sold it to Galileo Global Education as part of a $263 million deal that also included Domus Academy.[6]
The school is listed by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education, as a "legally recognised academy" in the AFAM classification of schools of music, art and dance that are considered equivalent to a traditional university.[7]
