Curriculum
At Nova Academy, students experience the same rigorous academic education as their peers at the Boston campus. We provide foundational courses, honors courses, and AP courses for high school students. In the first year of high school, students will complete foundational courses and honors courses. Then together with teachers and counselors from the Boston campus, we will conduct a review of student academic progress. After approval, we will guide students in selecting appropriate AP courses and begin to outline their academic path to university.
During their four total years of high school (Grades 9-12) at Nova Academy and Boston campus, students must take the following core courses to meet graduation requirements:
4 years of English/Literature
4 years of Mathematics: Geometry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Statistics, Computer Science
4 years of Science: At least 1 year of Physics, 1 year of Chemistry, 1 year of Biology, half year of Computer Science
3 years of Social Studies/History
2-4 years of World Language: French, Spanish, Latin
1 year of Fine Arts
Students are required to take a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 mandatory and elective courses in each academic year. Approximately 80% of the courses are taught in person by teachers at the Chinese campus and approximately 20% of the courses are taught online by teachers at the Boston campus.
