Principal's Message
I am very excited to welcome everyone back for the 2011-2012 school year. For the past few months we have been anxiously awaiting the start of many new programs at NDAE. As we move into the future with a modern-day junior high, iPad program and enrichment opportunities, equally important to us is deepening our traditions, sustaining the mission and meeting the goals of our founders. Guiding our plans, programs and teaching this year is the school-wide theme... iAm NDA – I Lead With My Mind, My Hands and My Heart. As our theme is integrated into all that we do and say this year, it will remind us of our mission and goals.
iAm NDA... I Lead...
At NDAE we strive to form teacher and student leaders who will make a difference in the world.
And My Heart...
We model and teach students to keep Jesus close to their hearts as they make choices and strive to live their lives in a Christ-like way.
My Hands...
In learning to apply their knowledge beyond the classroom, we model, promote and create opportunities for teachers, children and families to help others in need by reaching out with their own hands.
With My Mind...
We educate students with a rigorous standards-based and challenging program while we develop global thinkers who are taught to use what they learn beyond the classroom walls.
As we experience the new programs at NDAE, my hope is that we all grow and develop our minds, hands and hearts together. I wish you good luck and ask God to bless all of our teachers, staff, students and their families this year.
Have A Great Year Everyone!
