Academic School

Nova Elm Academy (NEA) promises to explore and deliver new pursuits in teaching and learning. We do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach to teaching, as there is no one size fits all curriculum. As community school, we are blessed to have the flexibility to design our curriculum to meet our students’ needs, but at the same time, we do meet and exceed the Standards of Learning (SOL).

Our curriculum is entrenched in the love of learning through visual, auditory, and kinesthetic measures. We cover all facets of academic learning from the Core Subjects (Math, Science, Social Studies and English) to Arts & Craft as well as Geography as well as heavily concentrating on Islamic studies.
We also understand the need for students to be engaged in physical education, as well as explore their artistic and creative talents. Just because we deliver all areas of mainstream education, we never compromise upon a safe Islamic environment. Islam is at the core of the students’ daily lives.

We provide a safe environment, to prevent our precious Muslim youth from becoming contaminated with any corruptive influences. This is at the heart of our mission and vision, and we never veer away from our promise, Alhamdullilah.

Math

Learning Math helps students have better problem-solving skills and better reasoning abilities. Math skills are important because they help us solve problems and look for solutions.

History

Studying history is important because it allows us to understand our past, which in turn allows us to understand our present. History can provide us with insight into our cultures of origin as well as other cultures, thereby increasing our cross-cultural awareness and understanding.

Project-Based Learning (PBL)

PBL is a teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge.

Science

Science is one of the most important subjects students study because it gives them the critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need in a very evolving environment.

English

The English language plays an important role in our life on a daily basis. It is understood by many people around the world since it is the most spoken language. It is essential in our education. The English language helps us to communicate better with nearly all the people around the world, even through the internet.
