Hello, Xavier Nuvali

Some interesting points from the the Xavier Nuvali brochure:

•  Xavier School Nuvali will have 25% of its students on scholarship.  Programs will be designed \”to enable the presence of these scholars to have a transforming influence on the culture of the school as a whole.\”
• XS Nuvali will be a co-divisional school. The campus will accept both boys and girls, but they will be educated separately.
• Focus on learning Chinese as a foreign language
• Flexible curriculum provides various enrichment and remedial courses depending on the capacity and interest of each student
• envisioned as an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School
• will adopt the Singapore method and curriculum in Science and Math, with a thrust on problem-solving and inquiry to promote critical thinking
• envisioned to be a digital school, with proper IT infrastructure and equipment and 1-to-1 computer-based instruction
• facilities (first phase): one school building and gym
• future developments: buildings for Primary School, Middle School, and High School; library building, auditorium, administration building, provision for residences and dormitories

I don\’t have children to go school-hunting for (not yet!), but reading about these plans makes me want to be part of this promising community of teachers, parents and students at the heart of Nuvali. A school is a cornerstone in any neighborhood and I have high hopes for the energy that Xavier Nuvali will bring into the Nuvali community as a whole. As their brochure reads, \”The journey begins in 2012!\”
