They become part of a sisterhood of girls who care for others and work for positive change. Girls participate to the fullest in classes, clubs, service, and athletics.

NDA students  are critical thinkers and lifelong learners who grow as Billiart leaders, respecting and caring for others as they make a difference in the world.


Athletics

With 19 sports and more than 40 teams, participation in athletics continues to expand. Our program has grown as we work to ensure that all girls who want to participate in athletics find a spot on a team. We also help athletes progress to the next level in their athletic development. NDA Athletics  is grounded in faith, character, and sisterhood.

Arts

Through the arts, girls  learn more about themselves and the world around them. They gain confidence and discover how to lead. With an array of courses and activities, girls grow as  artists, performers, musicians,  actors, and dancers. All  students are welcome—from those with experience to those discovering something new.
