School Reviews
5 Graduated in 1999. College was a breeze because NDA gave me such a great education. I also got an athletic scholarship to play college soccer.
We didn't have a middle school then and we still had nuns and the convent so it strict in a good way.
Don't know how it is now but they believe in the betterment of the student in every aspect of their life. - Posted by Student/Alumni - Kimco |
