Academics & Faculty
Curriculum
At Nova Academy, students experience the same rigorous academic education as their peers in Boston. We provide foundational courses, honors courses, and AP courses for high school students. In the first year of high school, students will complete foundational courses and honors courses. Then together with teachers and counselors from Boston, we will conduct a review of student academic progress. After approval, we will guide students in selecting appropriate AP courses and begin to outline their academic path to university.

4 years of English/Literature
4 years of Mathematics: Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics, Computer Science
