Serious about science. Serious about faith.
Novare Science & Math began when John Mays was a teacher and science department chairman at Regents School of Austin, Texas. Not satisfied with the textbook offerings of existing publishers, he wrote the textbook that he dreamed of for his freshman science class. That class was called Accelerated Studies in Physics and Chemistry. The students and the parents were amazed. They said it was fabulous, pleasurable to read, excellent at explaining concepts, and beautiful in form.
Almost immediately a colleague asked if he would write a text for her class. John discovered that not only did he enjoy writing science texts, but that he was good at it. It drew upon all of his strengths and experience: his science and engineering background, his love for literature, and his giftedness as a teacher.
Novare has quickly become a fresh new option combining the historic Christian faith with a rigorous approach to middle and high school science education. In January 2020, Novare joined the team at Classical Academic Press to continue producing excellent science curriculum.
