“ My classroom is a non-stop, actionoriented discussion about what is going on in the world.” — Don Lippi, history teacher
S t u d e n t s a t S J N D actively pursue public and written
studies of the classics—language, the arts, literature, theology, history—as they ready themselves to be informed world citizens. In the school’s diverse campus community, students become more intellectually confident as they are able to express their beliefs, ideas and opinions reflectively and creatively. SJND also challenges students to meet their highest potential through hands-on experience. The faculty at our school provides students with the skills for analysis and critical thinking to use mathematics, science, language and even the arts to analyze problems and develop solutions. Across the campus, classrooms have been transformed into modern learning spaces that accommodate all types of technology, expanding the notion of classroom learning.

A t S J N D , Catholic teachings remind us of the call to service and commitment to social justice
that are ingrained in our school’s mission, infusing our campus culture with respect and responsibility. Defined by our Catholic traditions, SJND also provides a welcoming environment for all faiths. Our students are beautifully diverse in their talents, ethnicities and backgrounds, and that is a unique and powerful part of who we are. Friendships come easy, and they last a lifetime.

leadership, creativity and ideas to SJND. When our graduates leave, they take away knowledge and skills, a strong commitment to learning and the desire to do more—in college, in a career and in their local and global communities. Here, students benefit from the attention of teachers who know them well, from enduring friendships and from a spirit of confidence and self-sufficiency that serves them well beyond their school life.
