Looking back at school experience for most would just mean the start of formal education, but to me Schola Nova has always been my second home. From Pre-school to A levels, Schola Nova marks an integral part of my personal and professional journey. I made friendships to last me a lifetime. I found teachers who put in all their effort to always stand by my side, guide me and bring out the best in me.

I decided in 8th grade that I’d like to pursue Economics as my major at university and I owe the clarity in my decision making skills at such a young age to my dedicated teacher Sir Umer . I did my undergrad in Economics from NUST and further went on to to continue my higher education from the University of Glasgow in Public Policy and Management. I am now a part of the University of Central Asia as a researcher in Kyrgyzstan . Had my teachers not believed in the young girl I was once at Schola Nova, I wouldn’t have made it this far. It takes a lot of effort, hard work and compassion to invest in a child’s dreams and to make them a better person and that is all that Schola Nova is about. I will always be grateful to Mrs.Naeem, Mrs Safdar and all my teachers. 

Schola Nova not only focused on motivating us to give our best at everything in life but also worked towards instilling values that are still close to my heart. The older I grew the more grateful I felt for my experience at Schola Nova.
