Studies show that teens who participate in extracurricular activities demonstrate higher levels of academic achievement, greater character development, greater social development, and a greater sense of the importance of community involvement. NOVA Academy is pleased to offer free after-school programming that helps students strengthen their individual talents, discover new interests, and—most importantly—have fun!
A professional instructor introduces various art techniques and guides students through the design of their own masterpieces, such as watercolor paintings, drawings, and sketches. Instruction has included use of colored pencils, pastels, acrylic paints, and more.
G.L.O.W. provides girls around the world with out-of-school safe spaces to learn and explore, and trusted and knowledgeable mentors to help them discover new techniques for self-empowerment, advocacy, and skill-building. Through this group, girls are equipped with the tools they need to grow into confident, self-aware, and successful women.
Aspiring musicians receive professional instruction in mariachi. Our Las Aguilas mariachi music program teaches students to play and perform instruments such as guitar, vihuela, and guitarron—no previous experience required!
SHPE Jr. (Society of Professional Hispanic Engineers) is facilitated on campus by UCI STEM students who share their passion for math, problem solving, and building things with hands and minds. Projects have included racing balloon cars, projectile motion rockets, extracting fruit DNA, wooden bridge construction, and more.
This energetic group receives professional and faculty-led instruction in blended choreography that includes dance and cheer. Spirit team members show positive support through performances for athletic games, assemblies, and events on campus and in the community.
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.
