NDA is such a special community. As a teacher and administrator from many different school settings, it has been such a nice change to work in an environment where you are valued and encouraged to grow. I've been able to make meaningful connections with students, families and alumni and this truly shaped why NDA is so unique and such a great place.

I am extremely grateful for the opportunities I have been given and allowed to take. We are pushed to be the best students, athletes, and an overall person. I have loved being able to grow and create new friendships with not just girls in my grade but girls in the whole school. I know coming to a new place acn seem scary but I would not change anything that has happened in the past 3 years, it has all shaped me in to the best person I could be.

I learned time management and self confidence above all else. I was treated with respect by teachers. I felt safe and taken care of. Had I not gone to NDA, I...

I would rate the school a 9.5. They are the only single sex education option in Central Mass and get a great, focused student body. The girls have a great camaraderie and thrive at the school.

My daughter is excelling at college due to NDA. There are many wonderful things about NDA that cannot be put in a catalog or brochure... students develop into strong, confident women after attending NDA.
