“NDA provided me an opportunity to excel and develop leadership capabilities. The small class sizes, teacher attention, and advanced subjects gave me foundational tools for problem solving. Extracurricular activities, particularly sports, provided opportunities to demonstrate and practice leadership and learn important skills for college and beyond.”

What does it mean to be Academy Prepared? It means that by the time you graduate from the Academy you will have the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to attract colleges and earn scholarships. It means that you will learn to be a leader and build character. It means that the Academy is for you!

“NDA constantly challenged me to grow as a student, leader, and citizen of the world. At NDA I was equipped to think critically about the issues we currently face as a society, and empowered to rise up to be part of the solutions.”
