Our Core Values in Action
NHND Prep strives to be a school of excellence in character and academic achievement. NHND Prep has a clear focus to ensure that all students are prepared for success. NHND Prep provides small-group instructions (avg. class size 10:1) in a Christ-centered learning environment. The instructions are differentiated to meet the learning styles and needs for acceleration while providing flexible modifications for remediation. Students experience positive, personalized, and supportive learning while engaging in rigorous, challenging, and hands-on course studies.
NHND Prep teaches Biblical principles throughout the academics for spiritual growth. Students participate in daily devotion and weekly chapel. Teachers and staff deliver a high-quality Christian curriculum aligned with core learning and national standards. Research-based teaching and learning strategies are continually implemented and evaluated for effectiveness. Academic achievement is measured using valid assessment tools to include school/teacher assessments, standardized assessments; Stanford 10, Explore, PSAT, and SAT/ACT. (The ASVAB is designated for students with military interests).
