Nueva has taught me that when we are presented with a question, we are presented with an opportunity -- an opportunity to thrive, to grow, to learn. Nueva has taught me to let my passions lead me, be who I am, and not follow someone else's path.

My favorite thing about Nueva is that you can be yourself...

I've always known that Nueva is an extraordinary place. A lot of things here seem just a little bit more wonderful, a little bit more special than the rest of the everyday world...It's always most noticeable in the classrooms, which are bursting at the seams with the creativity of the students ... This is a place where all talents are nurtured, and everyone's dreams are chased after.

Nueva encourages us to have a passion for learning, which comes from within ourselves and not from external incentives. And that is the kind of passion that stays with you forever.

We learn to ask why, what, when, who because we have been given the tools to think for ourselves.

Not only has Nueva taught me to be a great student, [it] also taught me to follow my passion.
