North Davis Preparatory Academy

I brought my son here for two reasons. Spanish immersion and smaller school. However, I got much more than that. The principal, counselor and teachers are phenomenal. This is a tough school, much more like a private school in the expectations. The teachers from Spain do not have a hand holding philosophy. The student is responsible for their education and they are the guides. The school as a whole believes this. If your child is focused and has the desire they will do everything to help them be successful.

This school is top notch for education and helping children to succeed. However, the one draw back, and it may be a big one, is the lack of discipline at the Jr High end. There are very few and very lenient consequences when it comes to student bad behavior. As a result, your child may not always feel comfortable in this learning environment. Wish this were different

This school is fantastic. My child's language acquisition has flourished during his time at NDPA. My daughter loves her teacher from Spain and sings in Spanish from the time she gets home until she goes to bed. The admin at this school is very strong with ties to a good management company. The Board of Directors are parents with a vested interest in making certain the school is successful. Great school!

My children have been attending the school since the beginning of the elementary. My children are now in the Jr. High, and the teachers are really great. They can speak fluently in spanish.

My wife and I have had our children attend NDPA since the beginning. After a semi-rough start I can honestly say that we made a great decision to keep them here. We are very happy with the teachers and the administration. We love to volunteer and take part in our childrens learning. Thank you NDPA!!!

I love this school. We just moved out of state, and were extremely sad to be leaving this school behind. The teachers are wonderful. I loved being involved with the learning process. My kids were always excited about school and what they were learning.

NDPA has such a great energy and truly fosters a love of learning in students. The teachers are amazing, excel at sharing best practices with each other and work hard to help each student to succeed. I also love the high level of parental volunteerism. I also love the bi-lingual Spanish/English focus. My husband, two children and I have been very happy with this school and its strong sense of community.

They take more time to be certain are meeting the requirements in learning, intervention comes on early when needed. My daughter went for one year her 6th grade, she has dyslexia, her reading went from a third grade level to a 6th grade level in one year. Great School!

I really like this school. My child is one who catches on to things quickly however as a boy he is easily distracted. The communication between student, child and parent is great. They encourage you to be a very big participant in your childs education

This Is a great school. Through leveling, every child is given the chance to succeed at his/her own level of learning.

NDPA is a wonderful school with caring and innovative administration, teachers and staff. Parental involvement is one of the powerful factors that makes this bi-lingual English/Spanish school so successful. Children are taught to love learning and the whole school environment is one of respect and committment. My children enjoy attending school at NDPA and feel valued as an important part of the school community.
