At NDA, we strive to form the whole child within our educational framework. Our goal is to partner with parents to meet the spiritual, moral, academic and physical needs of each child. We encourage our students to know, to love and to serve God and His Creation.

All students at NDA attend religion classes. Students also attend a monthly all-school Mass and have the opportunity to participate by serving at the Mass and taking part in the readings. In addition to teaching our subjects through the lens of the Catholic faith, we do our best to assist students in learning the rituals and traditions of the faith during the course of the Liturgical Year. Praying the rosary, participating in Adoration, performing the Living Stations of the Cross  – these are all important Catholic traditions that we continue to pass on to the next generation.
