Our core values
They form the basis of our education and our school community. They give direction to everything we do — in the classroom, in the school and in society.
Core values
The foundation of Nova Academy
Every core value is a building block for the development of pupils into self-aware, responsible and socially engaged citizens.
Knowledge
We believe knowledge forms the foundation for personal growth, independence and societal participation. Pupils are encouraged to be curious, think carefully and set high goals.
Character
Good education shapes not only the mind but also the heart and character. Pupils learn to take responsibility, act honestly, treat others with respect and reflect on their choices.
Citizenship
Pupils learn to actively participate in the Dutch democratic society. They develop an understanding of freedom, equality, solidarity, human rights and responsibility.
Human dignity
Every pupil is valuable. We build a school culture where children feel safe, seen and respected.
Islamic identity
Our Islamic identity forms a moral compass. Values such as justice, compassion, integrity, respect, responsibility and service are central.
Future-ready skills
Pupils grow up in a world of technology, artificial intelligence, media and international connection. Digital literacy, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.
