Enrollment Activities for the 2010-2011 school year
begin on November 1, 2010.

Nova Classical Academy is currently a K-9th grade school. The Lower School, at 1668 Montreal Avenue, St. Paul, houses grades K-5 and the Upper School, at 426 Osceola Avenue, St. Paul, houses grades 6-9. We are excited to announce that we are adding grade 10 in the fall of 2010. We are full for this school year (2009-2010) in all grades except 8th with waiting lists in grades K-7. We have two sections in grades 8 and 9 and we will continue to take applications for 8th and 9th grades for this school year and for all grades for 2010-2011.

APPLYING
Applying for grades K-10th grade is the first step in the enrollment process. All on-time applications will be included in our lottery for open spots for the 2010-2011 school year.

  • Nov. 1, 2009 Applications available on the web and at the school.
  • Feb. 26, 2010 Application deadline by 4 PM in the school offices.

Applications are accepted between November 1 and February 26, 2010 at 4 PM and it does not matter when in that time period the application is received. The lottery will be conducted within two weeks following the deadline, and families are notified by mid-March if they are offered a spot or placed on the lottery waiting list. Applications received after the deadline will be placed at the end of the lottery list for that grade
