How it works
Video lessons do the teaching. People do the catching.
Nova is a digital school, so the lessons come to you over the internet and can be replayed as often as you like. What makes it work is what happens when a lesson is not enough.
- 01
Watch the lesson
Every programme is built on video lessons delivered over the internet. A lesson can be viewed as many times as needed, at whatever hour the student actually concentrates best.
Full transcripts accompany the videos on My Online School.
- 02
Check the understanding
Quizzes and tests follow the lessons so that nothing is assumed. On My Online School there are flash cards and practice tests as well.
Progress is easy to monitor, which is part of why parents rate the programmes.

Get one-on-one help
This is the part a screen cannot do. If a concept is not understood, our staff work through it with the student individually until it is.
Extra tests are then given to strengthen the concept.

Sit the external exam
Exams are external, written through SACAI, GED testing centres or CambriLearn depending on the programme. We prepare students right up to the paper.
Exams are booked once outstanding fees are settled, unless other arrangements are made beforehand.
Three ways to work with us
Full-time, remote, or just for the finals.
At the learning centre
Students work through their programme on site with staff on hand. We provide internet connections for full-time students; students should bring their own laptop.
On Zoom, from anywhere
For students who cannot attend the centre, Zoom lessons are available wherever you are situated, at a time which suits you.
Exam preparation only
Many students who worked through a programme on their own come to us purely to be prepared for the final exams. That is a perfectly good reason to call.
The part that matters
If a concept is not understood, students are assisted one-on-one. Extra tests are given to strengthen the concept. That is the whole method, and we do not skip it.
