College and Career Exploration

Preparation for college and career pathways begins as early as Kindergarten.

Character Education through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) and Well-Being

SEL is a cornerstone of scholar success at Novus SMART Academy (K-8).

Structured English Immersion Program (SEI).

Our SEI program is designed to support English learners (EL) in achieving successful outcomes by fostering English language acquisition and academic success.

Dr. Sager was one of my youth advisors growing up in church. Not only did he teach us how to live a Godly life as teenagers, but he cared about our success in school. I ran into him in the mall parking lot in Murfreesboro and that's when we exchanged information and he shared that he was starting a school in our community. Now that I have a family of my own, I want to ensure my son goes to a school where people care about him and his future just as much as Dr. Sager cared about me and my future. Novus SMART Academy will be a great school for students to learn and grow, feel safe, and be loved by the school leaders and staff. Let's get this school open!
