ABOUT NOVA PIONEER
Imagine a world where every child in Africa attends a school that actually prepares them for success in the 21st century.
A school that cares about its students as individuals and encourages them to explore the world.
The school prioritizes the development of skills over the memorization of knowledge.
At Nova Pioneer, we have done more than merely foresee the future; we are creating it.
Nova Pioneer is a pan-African, autonomous network of pre-primary through secondary schools offering high-quality, accessible education.
The institution employs a novel inquiry-based learning strategy that encourages students to ask “why” rather of being told “what.”
Through discovery, investigation, and collaboration, they are able to form their own ideas.
Nova Pioneer now operates 14 schools in South Africa and Kenya, with the goal of opening 100 schools and reaching tens of thousands of students on the African continent over the next decade.

Individualize and teaching-teach students according to their various needs and interests, adjusting instructional students accordingly.
Assimilate arriving children to the school environment by greeting them, assisting them in removing outerwear, and providing activities that they find engaging.
