Information AboutThe Nova Project |
The Nova Project (also known simply as '''Nova''') is a small Alternative High School . It is part of the Seattle Public School District , but was created by the teachers and students rather than the government. The student body is made up of mostly of people who don't do well in traditional education. Some students were overstimulated by traditional education while others have social or personal at-risk factors inhibiting their normal education. The grading system is all credit/no credit with 80% mastery required for credit. Each student is required to design a personal learning plan drawing on the many courses offered to create a balanced education. Students at Nova may take classes at a local community college or at the traditional James A. Garfield High School across the street. In 2005, Nova students averaged 637 on the verbal section of the SAT and 547 on the math section. The majority of Nova students go on to a four-year College . EXTERNAL LINKS |
