THE NOVA MANIFESTO
What is the value of learning together, in person?
Today, educational technology and AI can make part of learning more personalised, independent and attuned to each child's pace.
But time together shouldn't disappear: it should matter more.
Nova was born from this idea. Some skills grow by following one's own rhythm; others take shape only through dialogue, collaboration and shared experience.
That is why our in-person time is dedicated to what truly makes sense to do together: designing, experimenting, discussing, solving problems, communicating and building relationships.
OUR MODULES
The Nova learning path
Throughout the year, children take part in different modules: public speaking, science, technology, coding, robotics, history, storytelling, outdoor education and design. These are not isolated workshops. Each module is part of an ongoing pathway that combines hands-on activities, curricular content and group work.
Learning period
Subject areas
Public Speaking & Debate
In this module, kids learn to speak up, organize their ideas and take part in a discussion with greater confidence.
MicroMatch Science and microscopy
In this module, kids become a team of researchers and take on a scientific challenge: observing microscopic samples, recognizing their features and correctly matching them to images and information.
Ancient Rome Council A role-playing game to found a city
Rome wasn't born great. It was born from a group of people who had to choose where to live, how to get water, how to defend themselves, how to decide together.
Space Construction Site Educational robotics
In this module, kids embark on a collaborative space mission: leading a team of robots across a large game board, gathering resources, building infrastructure and tackling increasingly complex challenges.

Our space
The Nova space
Nova takes shape inside the Forum Sport Center, in a bright, flexible space shared with Hub&Start, our program partner.
Work tables, robotics kits, a 3D printer, educational games and building materials are part of the everyday environment: students use them to design, experiment and work together.
The space also opens onto the outdoors, with access to a terrace. Parents who wish can stop by a free area of the sports center to work, read, or use the large café.
Nature, community and outdoor learning
Weekend Nova Family
In partnership with Graceland Natural Farm & LifeNova partners with Graceland Natural Farm & Life, a natural, regenerative educational farm on Lake Bracciano, to offer outdoor experiences throughout the year for students and their families.
Weekend gatherings, hands-on activities in nature, free play and moments of socializing become part of a larger ecosystem: not just learning together, but growing as a community.
