Our Mission: The Nueva School provides a physical education and athletics program that helps students acquire the skills and core competencies to allow them to capture the social and emotional benefits from healthy competition as well as learn to enjoy lifelong physical activity and fitness.

Nueva's physical education program consists of individual and team-building activities that develop skills and confidence in a non-competitive and nurturing environment. Facilities include a multi-use blacktop court, a sports field with a track and baseball diamond, a state-of-the-art gymnasium, and a 25-foot climbing wall. Nueva also offers a competitive after-school athletics program for fifth through eighth graders.

A Safe Place to Take on a Challenge: Physical Education and Athletics

“You know one of the coolest things about the new building?” Athletic Director Azmi Mamis points to the scaffolding rising above the playing field where we’re soaking up the last rays of bright December sunshine. “The view.” And he’s not talking about the sweeping vista that includes the Bay Bridge and Mt. Diablo. He’s talking about the perfect spot to watch soccer, flag football, and ultimate games played on the field: from the vantage point of both the classrooms and the second floor balcony of the new Hillside Learning Complex.

Located in the San Francisco Bay Area, The Nueva School is a nationally recognized independent school serving gifted students and emphasizing integrated studies, creative arts, and social-emotional learning. For more than 40 years, Nueva has remained committed to its original vision: to inspire a passion for lifelong learning, foster social and emotional acuity, and develop a child's imaginative mind. Nueva creates a dynamic educational model to enable gifted children to learn how to make choices that will benefit the world.
