Our Philosophy
Nova means new, and we offer parents “a classical education for a new century.” At Nova Classical Academy staff, parents, and students share a unity of purpose and consider themselves members of a community of learners. We believe, with the late Mortimer Adler, that a complete education is the work of a lifetime and that the K-12 years are only the beginning of a lifelong educational journey. We also believe that the purpose, goals, content and method of classical education will allow us to achieve our goal of producing intelligent, literate, curious young adults who are able to read, write, calculate, think, understand, solve problems and follow through on a wide range of interests; who are self-disciplined, compassionate and moral; and who have the skills and passion for thinking and learning that will allow them to teach themselves for the rest of their lives.

"The best thing
about Nova is that
I can learn, make friends, and
still have fun."
