Outside Classrooms
Spring has finally arrived and NDES is taking advantage of its campus and the beautiful weather by bringing the classroom outside. Not only is bringing the class outside a great way to engage students in science, but other curriculum content is being presented such as English, art, physical education, religion, math and even computers.
NDES believes in a holistic approach to learning and establishes different teaching methods to reach each and every child.
