STEM + MATH LEARNING IN THE 21ST CENTURYEDNova Academy is a pre-collegial preparation academy that aims to inspire, guide, and nurture motivated 6 – 12 grade students who are interested in and have a passion about STEM + MATH subjects.At EDNova Academy, our students learn how to learn – to be adaptable, resilient, reflective, and to have the capacity to research, think, act, and communicate their ideas in multi-modal ways. We provide our students with a core of essential learning that leads to a depth of understanding across major areas of human knowledge with a substantial emphasis on creating a solid foundation in STEM +MATH subjects. Our programs are designed to engage students in learning that is relevant, challenging, and significant. Our philosophy and approach is based upon the teaching and learning principles of guided inquiry, development of globally significant conceptual understandings, and collaborative learning. Students also learn about commitment and goal setting, thus, enhancing their leadership skills, resilience, and well-being.Our curriculum and our approaches to learning and teaching are stemmed by our aspiration that students be intelligent, innovative, and international in their approach to life. In an era that will be dominated by such challenges as rapid globalization, environmental change, and extraordinary technological advancement, our students will need the curiosity to research information, the critical capacity to analyze complex problems, the creativity to find solution, and the confidence to lead. We firmly believe that what matters is not the brute force memorization of facts rather the development of our students' capability to take what they have learned and to apply this learning to new situations.
