Faith in Education
At NDP, we believe the greatest service we can provide our students is to instill in them a love of learning and to provide them with the necessary skills to pursue God's plan for their lives.
NDP provides a comprehensive college-preparatory curriculum aimed at equipping young men and women for college challenges, emphasizing that Christ is the central theme throughout our teachings. Students benefit from personalized instruction thanks to a 17:1 student-to-faculty ratio. Additionally, our student-to-counselor ratio is 115:1, significantly lower than local public schools, where it can reach up to 900:1.
Our learning programs cater to a diverse range of students, from those requiring additional time to master skills to those who learn rapidly and seek challenges. Faith and reason are integrated into all our classes. Using an eight-period block schedule, students earn 28.5 credits and complete 120 hours of Christian community service before graduation.
