About Novak Academy

Novak Academy is a small, comprehensive, alternative program designed to meet the needs of non‐traditional students in a nurturing environment. We understand the traditional classroom/high school may not be an effective means for some students to obtain a high school diploma. Therefore, Novak Academy maintains smaller class sizes as well as provides individualized attention through our student success plans. At Novak, students are able to gain extra credits through an online Apex Learning Program.

Novak Academy uses a variety of methods to engage students in the learning process. Instructional methods include a combination of independent study, teacher-developed lessons and activities, student focused project-based learning, on-line courses, and the use of textbooks, with extensions being career exploration and character education. We currently have 5 teachers who are certified in a wide variety of areas, as well as a Guidance Counselor and Alternative Learning Opportunities Program Specialist. This framework allows Novak Academy the ability to offer support for students to overcome previous barriers toward their success, accommodating a variety of learning styles and skill levels. In order to obtain admission to Novak Academy, students will have to complete an application and assessment testing.

Our Mission
