ABOUT US

NDPA is Utah’s first International Spanish Academy. The Ministry of Education of Spain awarded this prestigious honor to us in 2010. The criteria to receive this designation are very high, and NDPA is proud of our commitment to the high standards of Spanish language and culture instruction required for this honor.

Leadership High Scores and a Few Recommendations

Under our “Leadership Capacity” domain we demonstrate noteworthy practices that produce clear results that result in positively impacting our school in several areas. We are committed to

our purpose statement and school mission and all those involved with the school support our threefold mission. Our administration has established and ensures adherence to policies that are designed to support NDPA’s effectiveness, and they adhere to a code of ethics and functions within defined roles and responsibilities. Our school leaders have also implemented operational processes and procedures to ensure effectiveness in support of teaching and learning. In our one-on-one interviews with Cognia (the company hired for this audit) they said that they rarely see a school so committed to its vision and purpose. What a compliment to all of us!

We did receive one score lower than the rest in the area of “school continuous improvement plan” because we have not formalized many of the things that we do at NDPA. Hence, this has become our main goal for the next five years and two of our three “umbrella” goals fit in this area.

  1. NDPA will implement an annual, systemic, and systematic continuous improvement plan that supports student learning, teacher growth, and operational sustainability.

  2. NDPA will formalize and document what we do and how we do it to ensure long term sustainability.

We’re proud of the work we’ve done, and we look forward to sharing with you how we are accomplishing this goal in the January SCIP Corner.

Math tutoring will be held temporarily on Tuesdays and Thursdays from now until Thursday October 12. Tutoring is open to all students 7th - 9th grade!
