Serving grades K-8 during the 2026-2027 school year and adding a grade each year until K-12 is served. Idaho Novus Classical Academy is a Hillsdale College K-12 Member School.
We provide a broad education in the liberal arts and sciences. Liberal is derived from the Latin word libertas, meaning freedom, and this an education befitting citizens of a free nation.
We introduce students to America's founding documents early and build a strong foundation in American government to prepare the next generation for the responsibilities of citizenship.
An American classical education emphasizes the pursuit of truth, which can be discovered through careful study of our literary, philosophic, historic, and artistic inheritance.
