Nido News

What started as a small hangout spot for a few friends two years ago has grown into one of Nido’s most impactful student-led academic clubs. The Academic Society, founded by 11th grader Bea, began in the quiet, cozy corners of the Wellness Center, with laughter, conversation, and plenty of studying—often with the Paws for Pawsitivity dogs nearby. This year, Nido Counselor Ian Lally, a frequent participant, encouraged the group to make these morning study sessions official. That suggestion led to the creation of The Academic Society, a club devoted to helping students build effective study habits and find motivation in their academic journey.
