Dear NDAA Family,
As we enter the final month of the school year, we thank God for His continued blessings over North Dallas Adventist Academy. We are proud of our dedicated staff, who faithfully work each day to provide our students with an excellent Christian education and to nurture their growth academically, spiritually, and in character.
At NDAA, our mission is to serve others using the gifts God has given us. Our vision is to empower students to become leaders in the school, church, and community. Our motto reminds us who we are called to be: Honor, Inspire, Support. We are HIS.
As we reflect on this season of growth and preparation, we are reminded of the example found in Scripture:
“But Daniel purposed in his heart…” — Daniel 1:8
Daniel and his friends chose faithfulness, discipline, and obedience to God, and their lives became a testimony of excellence and devotion. Ellen G. White beautifully reminds us:
“Daniel and his companions had been faithfully instructed in the principles of the word of God. They had learned to sacrifice the earthly to the spiritual, to seek the highest good. And they reaped the reward. Their habits of temperance and their sense of responsibility as representatives of God called to noblest development the powers of body, mind, and soul. At the end of their training, in their examination with other candidates for the honors of the kingdom, there was ‘found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah.’”
— Ellen G. White, Education, p. 52
As a school family, may we continue striving for excellence in all that we do, seeking to grow not only in knowledge, but also in faith, integrity, and service. It is our prayer that each of our students will continue to use their God-given gifts to shine for Him and become leaders who make a difference in this world and in God’s kingdom.
Have a blessed and wonderful week!

Please notify the school immediately if your child is diagnosed with influenza, either by phone or through the Absence Notification Form. -
