Challenging Education... engaging middle school experience

Highly capable students respond positively to a rigorous, relevant and varied learning environment.

NOVA School Diversity Statement

NOVA School believes that a diverse school community is essential to education. We prepare our students to understand, thrive in, and contribute to an increasingly diverse yet interdependent society and world community.

NOVA therefore values diversity in students, parents, faculty, staff, and board with respect to race, color, ethnic and cultural background, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, opinions,and life experiences.

To make NOVA accessible to a diverse population, the school strives to remove bariers to diversity. To create community within such diversity, NOVA teaches and models respect, inclusiveness, and acceptance of human differences.
