“I am very happy with NOVA. We started online because of the pandemic, and it is what he knows. When we first started NOVA he was already familiar with online schooling. Now not mainly due to the pandemic, but other struggles we have in the family, NOVA is a blessing to us. Everyone is very helpful and many times everyone has gone the extra mile or ten to make sure he is on top of his work! He says he likes NOVA because he has learned a lot of math and likes how everyone treats each other nicely.”
