Nova Classical Academy Lower School Reviews
Rating 3.24 out of 5 17 reviews
My daughter was a transfer student from another charter school. The previous school she went to wanted to put her in special education. I disagreed with this and turned that down. So when my daughter was accepted into nova we were thrilled. The new way she is being taught at nova is so much better she is no where near needing special ed. We love the curriculum at this school and are thankful to get in. She adjusted well to the new school and we are thankful
Many of the teachers who truly subscribe to the idea of a classical education are outstanding. That said, there are many in the the lower school and upper school who are traditional union type liberal teachers who try to push an agenda when the opportunity presents itself. The new administration starting the in the Fall of 2015, is comprised of long time union teacher/adminstrators who are not familiar with classical education and push the same failed ideas present in the St. Paul public schools.
Strong rigorous academics, which is what I was looking for. The past year has been difficult as strong-minded and somewhat mean parents seem to dominate the school board decision making. Administrators are decent people who have to abide by school board policies.
