Nova is a great school, but that is not to say it is without flaws. It is still a very new school…read more(will have its first graduating class this year) and there are definitely things that need to be worked out, especially in the upper grades. While I understand the philosophy of hard work, sometimes I wonder if it might be a little bit much. The school makes promises that colleges will examine the schools curriculum and adjust accordingly, but I am afraid that many students will be at a disadvantage going into this process simply because of lower GPAs. And there is no question that many B and C students at Nova would be A students at other schools. I know many students at other schools -- a girl whom I know has a difficult trouble reading yet is getting almost 100% in her Language Arts class at Washburn, students who are reading books in high school that I know Nova students read in 7th grade, and other students who are still taking basic science courses in high school (Nova Freshman are taking a Biology course based on a college textbook) -- just to name a few examples. This is not to say that students at other schools do not deserve their grades, but it does put Nova students at a disadvantage. Many have talked about the homework load. It is not so extreme as many make it out to be, but sometimes it can be excessive. One of the only other real problems with homework is that teachers do not coordinate with each other. The major work calendar is supposed to take care of this, but it does not. Only assignments such as presentations, tests, and lengthy papers go on this calendar. A 4 page paper? A quiz? A 12 page annotation? A lab report? No, not on the calendar. I believe that Nova just needs to find the balance between a rigorous education and putting students at a disadvantage.

All the teachers and the director, Sharon, care deeply about the children in their care and take early childhood education very seriously (which means lots play and exploration!).

James Ford Bell Library, located on the fourth floor, is also another addition to the Wilson. It's a collection of more than 30000 rare books, maps and other documents donated by the founder of General Mills Co.. During the exam seasons, the library is crowded but at other times you can easily find a comfortable desk in the public reading area, in one of the three public group study rooms, in one of four private group study rooms or if you don't want to use your laptops, in one of the two deep quite study rooms. Faculty and graduate students also could apply for a carrel. The library patrons are mostly considerate. But like other libraries, you may see some inconsiderate, noisy patrons especially in the group-study rooms. Sometimes, the only thing they don't do is study! And finally: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY WATCH A PORNOGRAPHIC SCENE WHILE WALKING AROUND, YOU SHOULD LOWER YOUR LOOK TO AVOID THE LIBRARY'S COMPUTERS' SCREENS ON WHICH SOME STUDENTS WATCH PORN!!

Our daughter has made HUGE strides at Foss. When she started, she hysterically cried for the entire 30 minutes. It didn't phase her teachers and they were very patient. The class structure and repetition week over week helps her know what to expect and has allowed her master skills like back float. Highly recommend!
