Absolutely love the school!! Can't wait for sophomore year! The people are amazing and the teachers are so kind. Plus the amount of help you get if you just ask is awesome. The only thing is if you are not prepared to work hard, you will not do well. It has some very difficult classes.
11/17/2022
It's a good school and the classes are fine as long as you keep up with the work load. At times it can feel like a lot but prioritizing assignments can help with that. It takes time to complete the application but the friends that you make and the strong relationships with teachers makes it well worth your time. Just make sure not to get lost in the board you can tell because the floor changes from tile to carpet.

Nesbitt is an interactive learning environment that allows students to learn and thrive together with a sense of community that is so incredible, you'd have to see it to believe it.

Engaged teachers, who are always interested in helping your child get the most out of the school curriculum. It is an overall amazing school.

My child is in their freshman year at NDA. We have been impressed with the high quality of instruction and the administration at this school.

I feel like I'm a member of a family, not just a number on a spreadsheet. I could go on and on about all of the reasons I love this school, but there is probably a word limit.
