Character is Our Foundation
NSA is committed to the social, emotional and physical development of each student. We are intentional in nurturing each student to reach his or her maximum potential. Our students feel safe, respected and connected to those around them, allowing them to thrive academically, artistically, athletically and socially. Our faculty and staff embrace their responsibility as role models in setting high standards of character. Character is our foundation for Honor Above All.
Community is Our Hallmark

We are committed to one another, bound by our traditions and devoted to our belief in Honor Above All. With shared purposes and principles, we seek to improve our school, our community, our society, our environment and our world through our compassion, philanthropy and leadership.
