What kind of students is NDA seeking to cultivate?
Classes that Introduce and Equip
Whether catching up or getting ahead:
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.

Middle School - Math Foundations 1 & 2 focus on developing a student's problem-solving ability and resilience while mastering key math concepts to prepare them for math in high school. It ends with pre-algebra.
High School - In High School, we offer the three required math classes (Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry) and further flexibility to pursue more advanced math, real-life math, or the ability to utilize a year to catch up.
High School students are required to have three science credits in their high school career. We focus on meeting requirements and being practical in regard to the needs of our students and families.
These classes are taught in two smaller groups (Middle and High School) to maximize engagement.
These studies form the experiential identity and theme for our year. Each social studies class will offer a different experience for our students. These social studies classes focus on an experience in history and a working understanding of the key concepts, cultural movements, people and events that propelled history forward. We look at history as vital and often overlooked. Our students will wrestle through ethical problems, look backward to help form better answers for today's challenges, and to meet the God of History who is working in all of it for His glory and our good.
