What will your student remember?
What are the ways our middle and high school experience sets us apart?
This is a great question! There is so much that goes into what we offer our 7th-12th graders. In summary, we offer a comfortable, relaxed, and cultivating place for your student to grow and develop in these pivotal years while making lasting memories which will propel them into who God has intended them to be.
The Heart of the Problem
Most people look back at their middle and high school years and remember the friendships and experiences that helped shape them. Will your child have those experiences where they currently are? For students today many cannot wait to move on from these years. Many students today face extreme bullying, the desire to stand out or be cast out by their peers, a school environment that brings anxiety and stress. These realities are heartbreaking and also contribute to an educational space that has more barriers to success than avenues.
The Heart of NDA
Here at NDA our staff dive into the student culture here to protect it and ensure that students develop lasting friendships and build experiences that they will look back on with gratefulness and joy. We are fully involved in resolving conflict, we do not tolerate bullying, and hold students accountable for what they do here at NDA. We focus on a growth mindset in their studies helping them discovery their talents, giftings, and passions. Our goal is to help cultivate students that have self-confidence, problem-solving skills, greater self-knowledge, and the practical knowledge suited to their future real life.
We graduate students with a diploma, and more importantly, equipped for their next steps into the workplace or to further their education. Through self-discovery, the mastery of important life skills, and the pursuit of the right education for their future students will have experiences that they can look back on with gratefulness.
