Lau (Gordon J.) Elementary School

We have two children currently attending NDV, and we’ve had a wonderful experience from the start. The school has a warm, welcoming environment where students are excited to learn and grow.Academically, NDV shines. The curriculum is rigorous yet supportive, and we’ve seen our children challenged and inspired in the best ways. Students benefit from daily French instruction and a vibrant arts program. NDV’s commitment to academic excellence leads to excellent high school placements. We feel confident that our children are being well-prepared for the future.What really sets NDV apart is the strong sense of community—several of the teachers and staff are alumni themselves, which speaks volumes about how much they value and believe in the school. NDV recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, a testament to its lasting impact on generations of students and families.Our children especially love the after-school programs, with chess and cooking class being favorites. These activities have helped them explore new interests outside the classroom.We’re truly grateful to be part of such a caring and dedicated school community. We highly recommend NDV!
