stay tuned for more event details to be shared during the next few months.

A Message from Head of School
Lee Fertig

I am thrilled to celebrate the completion of Nueva’s Science and Environmental Center on our Hillsborough campus. Coupled with the completed expanded café and kitchen, these new facilities provide additional classroom and community space that is needed now more than ever as we welcome more and more students back to campus.
Students in lower, middle, and upper school will call the Science and Environmental Center home, as we collectively strive to better understand the world around us, this glorious yet vulnerable planet we inhabit, and our important role in caring for it. Our new learning facility will promote interdisciplinary studies encompassing humanities, science, the arts, and service learning as we collaboratively address climate change and other environmental issues.
We look forward to offering tours of our new facilities when we are able, as there is no substitute for experiencing them in person.

YOUNG ALUMNI:
VIRTUAL TRIVIA LUNCHEON & INTERSESSION
More than 60 young alumni joined us to kick off 2021 at our virtual trivia luncheon and participate in intersession. The week-long series of events began on January 5, when the Classes of 2017-2020 reunited for a lighthearted trivia competition and enjoyed a virtual meal together via DoorDash gift cards.
For the first time in program history, our Upper School graduates participated in intersession. Alumni enjoyed attending more than 40 hand-selected sessions and activities over the four-day event.
“Intersession is a uniquely Nueva thing, which was why I was so open to the opportunity to join a class as an alumna,” said Isabel Chambers '20.

IN MEMORIAM:
