The Dean overexerts his power to the extent of harming his students wellbeing. There have been multiple reports of assault and no action was taken. The principal will do anything and everything to make sure that his students suffer before the 'great name and reputation' of his school suffers in front of the arizona diocese and board of education. Please, if you care about your children - think twice before sending them here. The teachers are great, (especially the theology department.) But the administration has no compassion or sympathy towards the hardships of adolesence- however drastic they may be. Save both your pocketbook and your child and take them somewhere they will be well cared for, safe, and happy.
NDP is amazing! i love it and your missing out if you dont go to NDP! it is the best school! everyone is so nice and it is such a blast. the acedemics are very tough but it is so worth it!
My daughter finished her Freshman year at NDP and is entering as a Sophomore next year. After 5 years in Scottsdale's public schools it was a wonderful change! The kids are so much more respectful, the classrooms are under control, discipline is enforced. She has blossomed and made a lot of friends. The best thing about her friends is that they have mostly the same values and morals that we are desperately trying to instill in our kids in this very secular city. It was the best thing I could have ever done for my child.
Someone needs to reveal the truth about NDP. I attended NDP lastyear. The teachers are mostly new, amateurs. I had a few horrendous teachers, one who would often cuss, and had no control of the kids in the class. Eventually he gave up on teaching and sat on ESPN.com all day. Another teacher I had would play games every Friday, just to end the week of no learning with a bang. Often she would play quiet ball and when she wanted everyone to stop, they simply played 'monkey in the middle' with her and didn't listen. Teachers simply have no control at this school. The counseling is truly embarrassing. My counselor ignored me for weeks until my parents stepped in. The Principal emerges from his cave once every year for about a day or two. All idiots are accepted if they have a 12,000$ check. Basically the school is horrible.
