If your child feels lost in an education system that never quite fits them, Novatio School wants you to know: it doesn’t have to be this way.
Enrollment is now open for the 2025–26 school year at Novatio, an Arizona-based virtual private school that’s turning traditional education on its head—and helping neurodivergent students finally feel seen, successful, and excited to learn again.
“We built Novatio for the kids who were falling through the cracks,” said Karissa Ham, head of school at Novatio, in a prepared statement. “These are bright, capable learners—many with ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety, or autism—who just needed a different kind of environment to thrive. At Novatio, they get it.”
A school day that actually works for kids
Novatio students start their day with just two focused hours of personalized, AI-guided academics.
After academics, the rest of the day is for real-world enrichment. Novatio Clubs offer interactive sessions in writing, entrepreneurship, tech, wellness and more, helping students discover their strengths beyond textbooks and tests.
There’s no homework. No long lectures. No rigid bell schedules.
And unlike traditional schools, students are supported by a full team: lead teachers, assistant teachers, academic coaches and AI tutors. It’s like having a built-in support system that flexes with your child’s needs.
When mom Canikah Woods first found Novatio, her family was ready for something better.
“It came at the perfect time; we were unhappy with our online program and Novatio has been a total game-changer,” she said.
