Nova early college after all is a good school for students who are looking forward to preparing themselves for the future. Nova is also a very fun school where everyone gets along with everyone and everyone engages with each other at least once.

Teachers and staff are very attentive to students, my son has grown so much over his time there, I'm so glad he attended there

The main reason I chose to attend to nova academy was because they offer free college classes to us and there's even a program that when you take two college classes you get paid.The only thing I would like to see change is sports and clubs we don't really have a lot of them.
