Why I Teach at NDPA

I enjoy the thrill of preparing students for a lifetime of success by teaching them the crucial skills they need for that bright future! It is rewarding to show children how they can actually enjoy learning and teach them “how” to expand their minds as well. I love the adventure and the challenge that accompanies my career—there is never a dull moment. Instead of watching the clock each hour, I blink and the school year is over!
