School Overview

Nova Education Center, located at 720 Diablo Blvd. in Novato, California, serves as a specialized facility within the Novato Unified School District (NUSD). Unlike a traditional comprehensive high school, the center functions as a hub for alternative and supplemental educational programs designed to meet the diverse needs of students who may benefit from non-traditional learning environments. The center is dedicated to providing flexible pathways to graduation, credit recovery, and individualized support systems to ensure student success.

By housing specialized programs, the Nova Education Center emphasizes a student-centered approach that prioritizes academic engagement, social-emotional well-being, and career readiness. The facility serves as a vital resource for the district, offering students a supportive setting where they can overcome academic hurdles and pursue their educational goals at their own pace. Those interested in specific enrollment information, program offerings, or administrative details can find further resources on the official district website at http://www.nusd.org.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
