NOVA Academy’s counseling department is a safe and affirming environment for students to develop academically and emotionally toward their college and career goals. We implement a proactive, data-driven, student-centered program that facilitates rigorous academic development, collaboration within the community, and the accomplishments of post-secondary milestones pre-graduation. Our partnerships with institutions like Santa Ana College provide opportunities for students to explore, excel, and establish themselves in the greater global community.
We are privileged to partner with students and their families in their educational and career planning. Below is information to help parents and guardians successfully collaborate with the counselors at NOVA Academy.
The school counselor is responsible for three domains in your child’s education: academic, social/emotional, and college/career. School counselors guide students academically so that they’ll achieve their full potential as they learn and grow. Counselors will also ensure that all students get the support and resources they need to develop socially and emotionally. Counselors at NOVA Academy coordinate college and career readiness through dual enrollment opportunities, college field trips, career exploration, and the college application process.
As a parent, you know your child best. However, the school counselors are trained and equipped to help your child as a student. It’s important to encourage your child as they navigate all challenges including academic, social, emotional, and college/career.
In case you or your child have a need, please work with your school counselor to find a solution. Counselors will collect necessary information to appropriately help your child and will discuss resources available inside and outside of school. Parents, counselors, and students will work together towards success in your child’s education.
Counselors will communicate with parents as needed. This can be through email, phone calls, or in-person meetings. When a parent has questions or concerns, please contact the school counselor through phone or email. To better serve parents, please schedule in-person meetings in advance via phone call or email.

The help NOVA Academy gave me was excellent, especially with my son who has autism. They met with me periodically and were able to develop plans that helped my son be successful after high school.
NOVA Academy equipped me with the opportunities and resources crucial for a smoother transition from high school to college. I am grateful to NOVA, crediting them to this day, for shaping the student I've become.
My experience here has been amazing as the atmosphere is always lively. I got the chance to start my own Chess Club within the campus while actively participating in other clubs.
One of the things I like most about NOVA is that the teachers really take care of knowing what the students' goals are and helping them achieve them, and if they have any kind of problems, they give them the necessary support.
I was welcomed into NOVA Academy with open arms and I just hope that after I graduate and am in college, the school never changes. This school and all the friends and teachers I’ve met here will always be in my heart, memories, and mind.
The Early College program helped me discover my career interest at an early age through dual enrollment. I now attend UCI where I currently major in Biological Sciences, debt-free!
The relationships I've built with the teachers and classmates have been unforgettable. I am proudly a part of the Mariachi program. I expected to learn guitar after high school, but NOVA introduced an amazing music program and helped us learn it.
Our senior will graduate with an associate degree in addition to her high school diploma. NOVA Academy truly offers the best of both worlds - a private-level education alongside the affordability of a public institution.
I love this school, especially the support from my teachers and friends. Everyone is so helpful and supportive and this school provides lots of opportunities for education and learning.
I have made many friends, learned so much, and made great memories. The environment is just right; it is a good size campus which allows for participating in sports and clubs, making the experience absolutely wonderful.
