Community

Nova is more than just a school. It is a thriving community made up of diverse individuals including students, parents, teachers, and volunteers who all share a common goal. The aim of this community is to provide an educational experience that not only empowers its youth but also brings people together in a shared pursuit of knowledge and growth. At Nova, we believe that self-discovery holds the highest value in the learning process, and this is reflected in the nurturing and supportive environment we strive to create for our students. Our focus is to engage each student and foster their individual strengths, allowing them to reach their full potential.

To further support our community and continue our commitment to lifelong learning, we are proud to announce that in 2023–24, we will be offering adult classes and community work days. These opportunities will provide a platform for individuals to connect, learn, and grow together. Whether it's a workshop on a new skill or a community event, we believe that these activities will foster a sense of belonging and strengthen the bonds within our community. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to take the time to explore the local artists and businesses that we love. Our community is rich with talent, and it's important that we support and appreciate those who contribute to its vibrant and diverse culture. We hope that this exploration will inspire new ideas and foster a sense of pride in our community.

Natalie Britton

Vice President

Her early years were spent learning and growing under a nurturing umbrella of love and precipitation in the Greater Seattle area. She graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a degree in fine arts and education before traveling the world with her high school sweetheart turned husband. After visiting and teaching in many far-off and beautiful places, including South Korea and a native Alaskan village of 300 people, she discovered Waldorf Education. After having two beautiful boys, Natalie developed a fascination with ecovillages. She completed several online courses studying the art of community in addition to visiting several intentional communities across the United States. In 2021, her family traced her husband's origins back to his birthplace in Sandpoint to plant roots and connect with others who are also excited to grow community. She is thrilled and honored to use her background and passions in education and community to co-found Nova High in this unique moment to bring about the changes necessary to meet our times.
