"One of the things I'm most excited about as founding principal is building a strong sense of community from the very beginning," said Matt Sheets, founding principal of Nova Classical STEM Academy. "This Field Day and BBQ is a fun way for families to get to know one another, meet our teachers and spend time together on campus. We want Nova Classical to feel like a place where families truly belong, and events like this are a wonderful way to start building that connection."

During the field day event, families will learn how Nova Classical blends the timeless principles of Classical education with advanced STEM integration to provide a rigorous and engaging learning experience. The school's model emphasizes critical thinking, strong foundations in language and mathematics, hands-on scientific exploration and character education.
