VERY GOOD, but not much diversity VERY GOOD, but not much diversity VERY GOOD, but not much diversity

We have had a great experience at the Nora school. It is a very accepting environment with high expectations for achievement, yet recognizing the diversity of how students learn. Nora is grounded in values that value the individual, human spirit, community and service, and respect, with an exceptional, dedicated set of teachers and staff. Parent 2020

I can officially say that I'm more than ready for college and it's all thanks to this wonderful school.

Nora is a great school. My son had a very difficult time in a large public school and a private school. But since he came to Nora things changed gradually. He's now much happier and motivated. Academically he's also doing much better. The school is not judgemental. They give students space to grow i...
