| The
NOVA Alternative Program |
Nova is an alternative program for students of the
Los Gatos-Saratoga High School District. There are
many goals within the Nova program. As a transition
program, Nova seeks to provide students with a chance
to meet their individual challenges and take responsibility
for those challenges. For some students, the goal is
improved attendance and study skills; for other students,
the goal may be anger management and behavioral responsibility.
For all students, the goal is to develop a love of
learning.
The curriculum consists of a three-period core class, which
includes English, Social Sciences and Science. Core instruction
is thematic in nature. Students learn about a particular topic
thoroughly. For example, if the “theme” were to be the Italian
Renaissance, students would study Italian history, the scientific
discoveries of the period, and also read literature of that
period. Art, math, PE, and work experience are available. Students
attend for six periods.
We believe that a positive school environment fosters academic
and life-skills accomplishments and builds self-confidence
and improved performance.
For more information, please contact
your student's advisor or email the Nova
registrar.
The Middle College is a high school
alternative for juniors and seniors. It offers
students with college potential the opportunity
to complete their high school requirements on the
campus of West Valley College. The Program empowers
students by giving them choices and treating them
as adults. Designed to provide a supportive yet
challenging adult educational setting, students
will take college level courses while completing
high school graduation requirements. This new educational
environment will provide students with an opportunity
to stimulate their academic development and spark
their quest for learning.
