Tuition-free public charter school opening in 2026 invites families to learn about its unique Classical-STEM model<\/p>\n
Nova Classical STEM Academy, opening in August 2026 as the first school in the world to integrate a Classical education model with STEM-enriched, project-based learning, will host an open house on Saturday, Dec. 20, for families interested in enrolling for the 2026\u201327 school year.<\/p>\n
The event will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at Nova Classical STEM Academy\u2019s Fort Myers campus, located at 7101 Banway Road. Families are invited to meet the Nova team and explore how the school blends the timeless principles of Classical education with advanced STEM integration to prepare students to think clearly, live with purpose and lead with integrity.<\/p>\n
\u201cNova Classical STEM Academy was created to meet the needs of today\u2019s students while preserving the wisdom of Classical learning,\u201d said Dr. Yalcin Akin, president of Discovery Science Schools. \u201cBy integrating rigorous academics, hands-on STEM exploration and a strong foundation of character, Nova will inspire students to inquire deeply, create boldly and contribute meaningfully to their communities. We are excited to welcome families and share how Nova is redefining what a modern, purpose-driven education can be.\u201d<\/p>\n
During the open house, attendees will learn what sets Nova apart \u2014 from full-time gifted and accelerated education to its emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning. Families will hear about signature elements of the Classical-STEM model, including Latin instruction; academic competitions in math, science and engineering; and a wide range of arts, athletics and academic clubs. Nova\u2019s approach combines rigorous academics with character education, ensuring students grow not only as scholars but as thoughtful contributors to their community.<\/p>\n
Families will also have the opportunity to explore Nova\u2019s mission, vision and values, which define the school\u2019s culture of wisdom, character and innovation. As a tuition-free public charter school opening with grades K\u20137 and expanding annually to serve grades K\u201312, Nova Classical STEM Academy offers a learning environment where students don\u2019t just learn \u2014 they build, explore and leap ahead.<\/p>\n
Guests will meet representatives from Discovery Science Schools (DSS), Nova\u2019s experienced management team with more than 17 years of proven excellence leading high-performing, STEM-focused charter schools across Florida.<\/p>\n
Enrollment information will be available on site. Applications submitted by Dec. 12, 2025, will be included in the school\u2019s inaugural enrollment lottery. Families may apply online at NovaClassical.net.<\/p>\n
