Shannon Hooge's Company Details

We are a public charter school free and accessible to all students looking for an exceptional education in a classical setting. While we are known to excel at academics – we consistently rank in the top schools in the state each year – you might be surprised to learn our extracurriculars are fast coming into their own level of excellence. Our success can be credited in part to our unique yet time-honored approach to teaching thought and discipline of both the mind and heart. This practice not only ensures that all students are seen and heard but has proven to produce compassionate, articulate graduates poised to contribute as global citizens.Know yourself. As a Nova Classical student, you are empowered to be intellectually curious. You get the opportunity to explore who you are and what you want to be. A focus on character values in daily interactions instills the habit of engaging with others in a thoughtful, kind-hearted manner. As you grow in knowledge and are encouraged to exercise self-expression and self-discipline, confidence becomes second nature. You learn to know your strengths and abilities and will grow into your own person, prepared and self-assured.Know the world. You will be educated in the time-honored classical traditions and exposed to concepts and philosophies from around the globe. You will learn not only facts but how to gain knowledge. You will analyze, evaluate, and critique information and begin to develop independent thought. And lastly but most importantly, once you have obtained this knowledge, you will develop the skills of argument and persuasion, and become accomplished in the art of communication. You will be ready to engage with the world.We invite you to join our inclusive community of learners.
