Learn on Your Terms. Graduate on Time.
Novastar's Hybrid Middle School Program gives students the flexibility to learn on their own schedule — without giving up real academics, official transcripts, or the benefits of a school community.
Real curriculum. Real transcripts. Real flexibility.

What Is the Novastar Hybrid Program?
The Novastar Hybrid Middle School Program (Grades 6–8) is a blended-learning model that combines structured on-campus elective days with a flexible online core curriculum — designed for students who need more control over their schedule without sacrificing academic quality.
Students complete core academics online through the Strong Mind curriculum on their own schedule, and come to campus for hands-on elective classes, project-based learning, and community. They receive official report cards and transcripts — everything they need for high school admission and beyond.
Could the Hybrid Program Work for Your Family?
If your child's schedule, health, or learning style makes a traditional five-day school week difficult to sustain — the Hybrid Program was built for families like yours.
Whether your child needs scheduling flexibility, thrives with self-paced learning, or simply does better outside a traditional classroom environment, Novastar's blended model gives them the structure and credentials of a real school — on a schedule that actually works.
