Nova Pioneer parents share in our mission of building the next generation of innovators and leaders and thus, we look to them to help us find more families who share our vision and values. This is because we believe in building a community of like-minded people who want to come along for the journey, and share in our story, as we continue to expand our offering throughout South Africa.

Once your child is enrolled at Nova Pioneer, you become part of our supportive and passionate community – a group of parents from all walks of life – who all contribute to our school in various ways for the betterment of our students’ education. It is through this community that our school Culture Principles come alive, even at home. 

 

Benefits of growing our community

At Nova Pioneer, we know how important it is to build community. Who better to help us do this than our very own parents? As an existing Nova Pioneer parent, you could qualify for a referral discount (R3500 off your tuition for a period of one year) when you refer a parent and they successfully enrol their child at any of our Nova Pioneer campuses.

 

What does “Successful Enrolment” look like: 

Step 1: Current family/ parent talks to a friend and tells them about Nova Pioneer.

Step 2: The prospective parent completes an online application form and in the ‘how did you hear about us’ section, they select ‘referred by a current parent’ and write the full name of the parent and student who referred them. We can only identify the family that referred you if they give us your first and last name.

Step 3: The prospective parent attends a Nova Pioneer event and the learner completes, and passes, an assessment. 

Step 4: The prospective parent, who is very excited about Nova Pioneer, then completes all online forms and submits required documentation before our Finance Team completes the affordability check and gives go-ahead for enrolment fee payment.

Step 5: The prospective parent then pays the grade-relevant enrolment fee to secure their child’s spot. 

Step 6: The referral is then flagged to our Finance Team, who will pick up the name from the original application, and ensure your account reflects the referral discount once the student has started.

 

Which parents are eligible for the R3500 discount? 

• When the parent applies to Nova Pioneer via our website, they must state that they were referred to by you (name and surname) when they complete the ‘how did you hear about us’ section.  
• The referred parent needs to successfully enrol at Nova Pioneer by completing the full admissions process (detailed below).
• Referred students cannot have a sibling currently or previously enrolled at Nova Pioneer. 
• The referral discount is awarded to the youngest child – if you have only one child at Nova Pioneer, that child will receive the discount. 
• You will be entitled to a R3500 discount per referral. 
• If you are not yet an enrolled parent, you ONLY qualify for this discount once you have confirmation of enrolment.
• The discount is non-transferable and cannot be substituted for cash or a refund.
• The referral discount will not be applied should the student account be in arrears at the point in time that the discount is allocated.
• This discount is awarded per enrolled student that is referred, up to five students (or a maximum tuition discount of R17500)
• Nova Pioneer staff do not qualify.
• Terms and conditions apply.

 

Let Nova Pioneer unlock a world of great opportunity for your bright star!

 

If the future is African, then we have the responsibility to prepare our future African leaders to meet the demands of a turning African century. 

Find Your Nova encompasses the mission for parents and students to explore the opportunities available to them at Nova Pioneer and beyond. The answer to the question of “what do you want to be when you grow up?” no longer needs to be a tough one for your child to respond to. At Nova Pioneer, our students have the confidence to see themselves with the potential to be anything that they want to be under the sun. We empower their imaginations to see themselves as future doctors, climate change activists, agriculturalists, and astronauts of their generation.

This is why when choosing a school for your child, it is important to ensure that the school can adequately inspire and equip your child for a world that doesn’t exist today. Our school develops skills such as critical thinking, life-long learning, problem-solving, curiosity and self-awareness through academic rigour, leadership, and enquiry-based learning. These are the fundamental skills that we at Nova Pioneer anticipate the future will essentially demand from your child.

 

Academic Excellence

 

Nova Pioneer exceeds high expectations on academic excellence for your child. Our students are challenged to critically interrogate and analyse content, investigate possible ideas and develop practical solutions that they can apply in their in-class activities, helping them achieve their academic goals. 

For our students to achieve academic success, our learning cycle involves learning to overcome the fear of failure, and the value of reflection, and feedback.

Kewell Moodley (pictured below), a current Grade 12 Nova Pioneer Ormonde student, achieved the top position in the world for Cambridge IGCSE for Business Studies in November 2022! This amazing achievement is a testament to Kewell’s dedication, hard work, and passion for learning. 

As a Cambridge International Curriculum school, we are proud to have played a part in Kewell’s outstanding academic success. He is one of many Nova Pioneer students to achieve great heights and to continue benefiting from Nova Pioneer’s high-quality school offering.

 

 

Marclus Marite (pictured below) is an alumnus from Nova Pioneer Boys Secondary in Tatu City, whose dream is to become a prolific architect who will design eco-friendly and futuristic infrastructure in Africa. 

He achieved an A of 83 points in the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KSCE) examinations. With the support of Nova Pioneer’s teaching and post-school-support team, Marclus focused his high school journey on improving his artistic and design skills. 

Given his outstanding academic results, he received early admission offers from University of Southern Mississippi and Snow College with a scholarship of US$29,000. For students at Nova Pioneer, like Marclus, we believe that their future is bright!

 

 

Leaders and innovators that will shape the African century

 

We believe that every child has the potential to lead, thrive and shape the world they live in, and this can be achieved through our 3 C’s – Character, Capabilities and Connection. We develop students into the innovators and leaders that will shape the African century. Discover how Nova Pioneer can help you Find Your Nova:
