Arts at NDA
By offering an array of courses and co-curricular activities, NDA empowers students to become creative and thoughtful artists, performers, musicians, and actors.
We welcome all students — from those with experience to students interested in discovering something new. NDA students are able to participate while pursuing other interests, from athletics to community service to robotics, and more.
The arts play an important role in a holistic, well-rounded education. Through the visual and performing arts, students learn more about themselves and the world around them. They gain confidence and discover how to lead.
Our faculty are educators as well as artists, musicians, and performers. They love to share their enthusiasm with our students.
“The arts nurture both mind and spirit. Through creativity, collaboration, and reflection,
our students develop the confidence to lead with compassion, embrace challenges,
and use their unique gifts in service to the world.”Jennifer Manning,
Vice Principal of Academics
