Imagine if young people have talents and skills that exceed our wildest expectations.

Apogee NOVA is an innovative private school serving LEADERS 4-18 years old

IT STARTS WITH WHY

Apogee NOVA is founded on the principle of experience based education. We believe the best way to educate our young leaders is to model it after real life. We believe education should mimic life as closely as possible as early as possible.

“Apogee may be right for your family if…”

  • You believe children are more than the sum of their grades.

  • You value the development of creativity and acquisition of life skills as much as core academic knowledge.

  • You understand that given the right guidance and opportunity, children have the capacity to lead themselves in education.

  • You want your children to live an inspired, thriving, and intentional life.

  • You desire to fan the flame of curiosity, self-sufficiency and out of the box thinking that exists in your child.

  • You are dissatisfied with the curriculum, schedule, and restrictions of compulsory school.

  • You value the uniqueness of your child’s capacity and pace for learning.

  • You know you want something more but aren’t sure what it is or how to access it.

  • You want to nurture a relationship with your child that is open, connected, and based in mutual respect.

  • You love the benefits of homeschool but want more guidance and support.

  • You want to grow and be part of a community where you and your family will make lifelong friends and create experiences you will remember forever.

WHAT MAKES APOGEE NOVA SPECIAL?

Project Based learning

The young leaders at Apogee Nova are immersed in experiential learning guided by Socratic discussions that foster teamwork, information synthesis and active engagement. Project based learning (PBL) encourages students to take ownership over their learning journey. Learners engaged in PBL have been shown to outperform those in non-PBL settings in academic testing and essential life skills.

Mixed Age CLASS

Learners are encouraged to fail enthusiastically, take risks, and dream big as they mentor and collaborate with others of varying ages and skill levels. In mixed aged class, leaders work towards skill mastery at their own pace.

core academic skills

Master core academics such as reading, writing, and math while developing skills that optimize emotional regulation, social interactions, leadership abilities, health, and real-world problem-solving. Parental involvement is highly encouraged and integral to the success of our leaders. Parents receive complimentary access to our year-long transformative programs, Apogee Man and Apogee Woman. We also host unique opportunities for fellowship and support with parents and the Apogee NOVA team, and meet with families regularly for feedback.

play

Free and guided play are cornerstones of our process where leaders will advance their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical abilities. Leaders will learn that freedom comes from responsibility and to value the power of a community centered around respect, integrity, and collaboration.

socratic discussions

The Socratic Method involves a shared dialogue between the coach and learners. The coach leads by posing thought-provoking questions. The focus is not on the learners statements but on the value system that underpins their beliefs, actions, and decisions. Learners will elevate their critical thinking, social interaction, and problem-solving abilities in this shared dialogue.

health

Physical, Mental, and Emotional Health are cornerstones here at Apogee Nova. Health is our foundation. Leaders will learn about and engage in a holistic approach to life. Topics like movement, recovery, nutrition, mindset, and emotional regulation are modeled and interwoven into the fabric of the day.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat". - Theodore Roosevelt
