ABOUT NOVA PIONEER
Imagine a world in which
every young person across Africa attends a school that truly sets them up for
success in the 21st century. A school that cares about individual students and
allows them to explore the world around them. A school that focuses more on
developing skills than on memorizing content. At Nova Pioneer, we have done
more than just imagine this future, we are bringing it to life. Nova Pioneer is
a pan-African, independent network of schools offering high quality, accessible
education from pre-primary through secondary school. Nova Pioneer uses a
unique, enquiry-based learning approach that encourages students to ask “why”
instead of telling them the “what”. It allows them to form their own thinking
through exploration, investigation and collaboration. Nova Pioneer currently
has 13 schools in South Africa and Kenya with a vision to launch 100
schools and reach tens of thousands of students across the African continent in
the next decade. To learn more visit www.novapioneer.com.
