Support Nova Classical Academy during Give to the Max Day!

Early giving begins November 1st. Give to the Max is a statewide outpouring of support for thousands of nonprofits and schools across Minnesota! On Give to the Max Day, we’ll have extra fun with incentives, donation matches, community prizes, and more, so stay tuned to our social media for details.

Nova is a public charter school. As we do receive state funding ‘per-pupil funding’, it is significantly less than that of a traditional public school. Determined by state legislature, ‘per-pupil funding’ follows every MN child to the school of their choice. Both traditional and public charter schools receive the same ‘per-pupil funding’.

So what’s the difference? The big difference is levy dollars. 

Why Donate to Nova?

Nova isn’t a private school, why does it ask for money? Nova is a public school that thankfully, provides our kids with an exceptional private-school caliber education. But, as a charter school, Nova has a disadvantage compared to traditional schools. While we both receive state funding, traditional public schools are able to supplement state funding with levy dollars. Nova cannot do this.

How does the lack of school Levy dollars impact Nova?

Unlike traditional public schools, Nova (and other charter schools) do not receive any funds from local, voter-approved levy dollars. Property tax levies make a huge impact on school funding. In St. Paul, Nova receives $6,900 (38%) less in funding per student!

Your Generosity Brought…

How Can I Support My Child’s Classical Education?

This is a great question! To narrow the resource gap, Nova depends on fundraising. Our primary source of donations is from our community! This is not unusual for charter schools.
