For the last few years we have supplemented our childs education with $800 worth of outside tutoring a month. The kids are given 35 minutes, once a week, for P.E., art and music though they lead you to believe that it is a well rounded education. For the last three years their discipline program has been soley punishing the students. It is how I recall catholic schools were 30 years ago. Read less

I am a graduate from the class of 2008, and all I can say about NDV is the great things. The thing maybe looked down upon is the discipline, but the discipline only will help you in the future. I am now attending a private high school in San Francisco and I would be totally lost without the aid of NDV.

This school has a great education program that will only help your kids in the future. Read less

This school is fine up to 5th grade. We were very happy until then. Middle school is a nightmare of endless homework and harsh discipline. No matter how hard the kids work and for over how many years, it's never good enough. The kids are worked to the bone and rarely get a pat on the back. Maybe I'll
