About Our School
Welcome to NOVA Academy Early College High School, where we have demonstrated over 17 years of academic excellence. Our commitment to learning propelled us to a national "Silver" ranking among high schools by US News and World Report for four consecutive years (2015-2018) along with "Best High Schools" recognition for three consecutive years (2019-2021). NOVA Academy also was awarded the California Distinguished School Award in 2019.
NOVA Academy offers programs designed to support students in their readiness for college, evidenced by the number of graduates who pursue post secondary education. Students have the opportunity to challenge themselves with the opportunity to take a wide variety of college courses. During the 2020-2021, students took over 80 different college courses, despite a worldwide pandemic, while enrolled at NOVA Academy. This ability to earn a variety of different college credits in high school allows students to better prepare for their future endeavors, both academically and financially.
NOVA Academy is a high school like few others in Orange County, as NOVA is like another family. If you speak to a parent of a current NOVA student, you will hear that with a Family structure built into the day, students feel safer and cared for, both academically and emotionally. NOVA Academy Early College High School is extraordinary, not only because of the ability to take so many college courses at no cost to the student, but also because of the dedicated and family-oriented staff. Here at NOVA, staff, students, and families truly care about their school. Students understand that the opportunity to be an Eagle is truly something special and unique.
Sincerely,
Melissa Mier
