NuVu students are remarkable in that they are well-versed in creative thinking and analytical skills valued by colleges and employers. As each student completes studios and seminars, they build their online portfolio. This comprehensive record of their work at NuVu serves as a powerful tool when the time comes to apply to colleges and/or pursue jobs and internships.

College admissions officers have gone out of their way to tell us how much they value NuVu’s curriculum and learning model. They understand that our students are well ahead of their peers with regard to critical thinking, creative confidence, collaborative skills, technical experience and capacity to grapple with complex, real-world issues.

Maddie Johnson-Harwitz

“I really liked that I was doing projects that were for my community. Early on we did a project with a nursing home in Central Square, and we went there and spoke with the residents, then came back and brainstormed ways that we could improve their quality of life. That was a level of learning I had never touched upon before.”

Jakob Sperry

“I think the environment and the dynamic between the coaches and students, plus the amount of attention you can get within areas that you need, and the space to be who you want to be, all came together for me. I was able to use it as an environment to really grow, explore and learn about myself, the world and about different communities and different cultures,”

Pierre Belizaire

“Being at NuVu helped develop my collaboration and communication skills. I hadn’t realized how much that would help me at the time, but so much of the collaborative aspect and learning of NuVu really guided me early on at college and carried over to the internship role. Learning this in high school, as compared to in college, felt like such an advantage.”
