This video perfectly captures the moment in which we are living. The technology divide has closed significantly. AI has broadened access to powerful tools, making it possible for many to become a technologist in their own domain.
But here’s what will determine who truly thrives:
Those who understand their domain deeply. Those who know what problems are worth solving. Those who can think critically, communicate effectively, and approach new challenges with unshakeable confidence.
At Novella Prep, we’ve always believed that an overreliance on technical skills alone can be limiting. Instead, we focus on cultivating human capability, confidence, and agency.
We help students discover what genuinely draws them, build deep expertise around their interests, and develop the mindset and life skills they need for meaningful, productive existence beyond college. Oh, and of course doing so amid higher achievement and post-secondary outcomes.
As our founder F. Tony Di Giacomo, Ph.D. reminds us: “We are living in a world with a future that is beyond comprehension but not beyond imagination.”
We’re not preparing students for specific jobs. We’re preparing them for life – including how to think about career, purpose, and contribution in a rapidly evolving world.
While technical skills become outdated, the capacity for critical thinking, domain expertise, and the confidence to grow and adapt remains timeless. “Capability with confidence and curiosity to grow is timeless.” – F. Tony Di Giacomo, Ph.D. We can raise our children in confidence if we stay true to authenticity, curiosity, and capability.
This approach is the foundation for a meaningful and productive life, whatever the future holds.
