We recently moved to Dallas from out of state and the staff at NDAA made our move much easier! They helped us with the enrollment process and even assisted us with our move. Mrs. Harder provided us with many resources from a realtor to unloading moving truck assistance. She made sure everything was ready for my daughter to start school as soon as we arrived. She went above and beyond to help us. NDAA instantly became our new family here in Dallas! NDAA has also provided our daughter with the support she needs to succeed academically. All her teachers have been great and some have provided one-on-one tutoring when needed. As parents, we are also very grateful for the spiritual support the school provides to all students from the chapel to Friday vespers. Students are kept engaged and motivated throughout the school year. We highly recommend NDAA to other parents seeking a quality Christian education for their children.

I am both a parent and a teacher at NDAA, but I'd like to share my experience as a parent. My son has attended NDAA since he was 4. He's now in first grade and I've had the opportunity to watch him grow academically (across the hall), socially, and spiritually. He loves his school, teachers, and friends. Both his teachers and aide have been extremely loving and nurturing. They provide positive feedback and make him feel safe. He has grown so much! He is an avid reader, writer, is extremely creative, and excels in math. He's now learning to play the violin and the class is even engaged in weekly robotics lessons. I am very pleased and proud to be affiliated with NDAA!

We just completed our third year with NDAA as part of the lower school. We are not Adventists, but enjoy the family atmosphere and strong academic program. The classes are much smaller than public school and allow for one-on-one instruction when needed and the classes engage in almost monthly field trips and other community activities. I like that the teachers know the parents and that there are opportunities for parents to participate in activities that span the lower school - so we get to meet teachers before our child enters their classroom. The principals and staff are friendly and engaged with the students - creating a great learning environment for both academic and personal growth. Overall, we have been happy with the experience and plan to continue our enrollment.

Our family has been very impressed with North Dallas Adventist Academy. The teachers and staff are exceptional. They truly care about all the children and preparing them to be successful academically and as contributing members in society. There is no tolerance for bullying allowing kids to reach their full potential without fearing their school environment or students. They have a wonderful music department and both our children enjoy their music lessons and music programs. Christian values are woven throughout the school and are taught hand in hand with their lessons. The staff and teachers lead by example making this school a wonderful environment for our children. If your are considering private school, you will love being a part of the NDAA family.

Our 3 children have attended NDAA since Pre-K, and they've made excellent progress academically, musically, and socially. The tenets of Christian faith and life are interwoven throughout the lessons, building strong bonds of friendship and camaraderie amongst the students. NDAA is a truly remarkable school!

We are very grateful to be part of NDAA family. The teachers are very well prepared, patient and kind, all the administration department is very efficient and always helpful and the principal is continuing working on develop and improving school in every aspect. Students have the opportunity to learn to play at least one musical instrument, and also sing in the choir, participate in one of the school sport teams, attend one or all of the clubs like robotics, chess, math, science or ukulele. And last but not least, this school does not accept bullying at all. They are lead by faith in God, and teach our children the most important lessons in life: to be kind to each other, to serve, to love, to pray, to help, to be best version of themselves. And this makes us cherish every moment that our child is in their hands.

North Dallas Adventist Academy is among the top Seventh-day Adventist schools in Texas. I cannot say enough good things about the teachers.
