If we were a cake...

Have you ever been offered a slice of beautifully crafted cake, only to find it tastes... underwhelming?

We’re not fans of those kinds of surprises — so at Ceiba Nova, we believe in full transparency. This page gives you a look inside the layers of what we do and how we do it, so you have all the information you need to make the best decisions for your family.

Badge System

Badges give learners a way to track meaningful growth, celebrate mastery, & build portfolios of real-world skills — all while having fun, making meaningful choices, & discovering who they are.

Learning Blocks & Rotations

At Ceiba Nova, each school day is divided into two learning blocks — one before lunch and one after — creating a steady, predictable rhythm students can rely on.

MAPs

All students have a personalized MAP - a dynamic guide that grows with them, charts their evolving interests, and ensures purposeful, reflective learning in all areas of development.

Paths + Tracks

Paths are developmental learning identities — not based on age or grade, but on a student’s evolving readiness, autonomy, and purpose.

CC, NGSS, & International Standards

Students master all required academic standards but they do so through interest-based activities, thematic learning, & project-driven exploration.

Grades + Transcripts

At Ceiba Nova, students are assessed through a scaled, standards-based grading system using clear, objective rubrics — and we issue official transcripts that are fully transferable to U.S. and European K–12 schools and colleges.
