Middle school leads to more at NOVA Academy OC! From the very start, we are focused on what is next for our students and how to help them succeed in high school, college, and beyond.
As an early college middle school, we are dedicated to college readiness and helping every student imagine the possibilities for their future.
Here are some of the immersive college experiences offered to students at NOVA Academy OC:
Through exploration of community colleges, four-year colleges and universities, trade and technical schools, military pathways, and other postsecondary options, students learn about the many opportunities available to them after middle school and high school, helping them establish goals that align with their interests, strengths, and aspirations.
Seeing college in action can transform a student’s vision for the future. Campus visits allow students to explore academic and extracurricular programs, connect with students and faculty, and identify the environment and educational path that is right for them.
Students who meet eligibility requirements may have the opportunity to enroll in introductory college classes before high school! Through our partnership with Santa Ana College, these may include:
Our free summer program prepares incoming students for a successful transition to NOVA Academy OC by helping them build confidence, develop relationships, and become familiar with their new school community. A variety of activities, which includes a college tour, are designed to fuel a college-going mindset.
