School Notes

The Novus Academy is committed to supporting students who struggle with the constraints of a traditional learning environment.
Students embark on a journey of empowerment and growth through our unique approach to social-emotional support, individual learning plans, and interventions.
Our small student-to-teacher ratio and positive learning environment is designed to set students up for success and makes ALL the difference!

Originally founded as The Hill School of Grapevine serving students in grades K-8, Hill ceased operations in 2014 and became What If We Could dba The Novus Academy. This change brought with it the addition of a high school program and increased educational opportunities for students, families, and the surrounding communities. The Novus Academy has been a trailblazer in providing underserved students with differentiated learning and an engaging academic foundation. Our scope has expanded beyond learning differences and disabilities (such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Dysgraphia, and Autism Spectrum Disorder) to include other challenges, including anxiety, bullying, and executive functioning deficits. Our students simply seek an environment where they can grow, thrive, and be accepted for who they are. Novus takes pride in employing innovative teaching techniques that celebrate individual differences, inspire hope, and foster positive growth and change for our students and their families.The Novus Academy provides resilient academic, executive functioning, and social-emotional fundamentals for our elementary students. As students move into our middle and high school programs, they begin to participate in dedicated coursework to refine their foundational skills and apply them in their daily lives. Our small student-to-teacher ratio, committed staff, and individualized curriculum set our students up for success. The Novus Academy utilizes staff from The Texas Workforce Commission in providing its upper school with access to career skills education and development. Staff also works closely with colleges in the area to provide dual-credit options and give students a feel for college before they graduate. Early planning is key-and these additional supports help our high school students and families learn about the best-fitting post-secondary options and prepare them for life and independence after graduation.
