She helped a black child who was struggling with a backpack over his winter coat. Then, she did the laughing "chilly" dance with another much younger black child, perhaps a kindergartener or first grader, who was racing inside to escape the cold. Mrs. Deruki greeted two Asian sisters on their way in the front door and waved at a group of Hispanic siblings trekking down the sidewalk. Everyone was smiling, children and adults alike. As I witnessed all this from my car, I couldn't help but think about the review complaining about NDA's lack of diversity. This is not an all white school like so many other private schools in Georgia. In my child's class alone, there are Hispanic families, Asian families, mixed race families, and black families. I want my child in a school that welcomes all races and ethnicities, and honestly, that has been my experience at NDA. I cannot speak for other parents who may feel differently, and I feel sad for the mom who felt like her daughter's needs were not met. But, there must be more to that story that was not shared here on Yelp. My fear is that negative reviews calling NDA racist will scare away the very families that NDA wants to welcome to its community. Please don't be afraid. My daughter's experience at NDA has been wonderful. The academics are rigorous and the expectations are high. She has not loved every single teacher, but some teachers are adored, deeply. And that's life, isn't it? Persevere, learn, grow. Notre Dame Academy is not a perfect fit for every student, but my Colombian American daughter loves it, and she is thriving.

An amazing private school. We are 2 months in and very very impressed. We love it here.read more

Please do not waste your money at this school. It is a complete and total scam…read more The first trick they play is to hire all-American-type sales people to lure you in promising that you will pay less to finish accredited high school classes by paying on a per month basis. Once you are signed up for the school you will realize that almost the entire staff are English as a Second Language folks who you will have a very difficult time communicating with (Virgin Mobile type customer service) and who will go through great lengths to not help you any time you have an issue, and you WILL have many issues with this school. 1. It will take about 3 weeks from the day you sign up until you have access to your classes. This delay consists of 2 weeks of them "building your classes" and then a week or 2 of scheduling you for an "orientation session." This means that by the time you start your classes, it will be almost time for payment for month #2. 2. If the teachers actually exist, which I am still not certain of, they have nothing to do with grading the assignments. The assignments are graded by the "grading department," which most likely exists overseas in India. If you have the misfortune of having to communicate with the grading department, it will be clear that English and logic are not their strong qualities. The will frequently misgrade your assignments and then claim to have 30 business days to make the corrections. Yes, 30 BUSINESS DAYS! Unfortunately, after those 30 business days, you will have paid payment #3 and halfway to payment #4. And still they will not have regraded your assignments. Several emails and calls later, you may have success in getting them to actual regrade these items, but by this time payment #4 will definitely be due. 3. They will not tell you how your grade is calculated. They are very confused about this themselves. For example, they reported a grade of 74% for my child's class where an A was the actual grade. It took many calls and emails to get this straightened out. 4. So by this time you have already paid for 4 months of schooling and paid much more for the class than if you would have simply taken it at one of the more established online schools. 5. The nightmare is not over. When final exam time rolls around, they will take the full 10 business days to grade your exam and they will likely misgrade this as well. So get ready for payment #5 trying to get that corrected. 6. By this time, you will refuse to pay as you finished the last class well before payment #5 was due. They will refuse to give you a transcript until you do pay. If you are like many of their other customers, you will pay and you MAY get a transcript or they will find some way to bill you for one additional month (payment #6)before the nightmare is over. You will realize by this time that you spent twice as much as if you signed up at a legitimate school. SOME FACTS: National High School has received 13 BBB complaints in the last 12 months, 8 of which were unsatisfactorily addressed. National High School is owned by Indian business man Akber Mithani and his brother. They are also the owners of the University of Atlanta - a now defunct school which lost its accreditation due to fraudulent activities. National High School will no doubt follow the same path and reemerge with yet another name. Stay far away!

My 3 years here were the best years of my entire educational career - including college and grad school! This place really is the most amazing school ever. I remember my first day just like it was yesterday. I was accompanied by one of my best friends, who was also making the big switch to a more civilized school. We sat in front of the bathrooms for like 10 minutes trying to figure out which one was for boys and which was for girls. Turned out you just use whichever one is open! In addition to just being an awesome environment, where you are accepted for being whoever you are, Paideia has a great curriculum. The year is divided into short and long terms. In the long terms, you take the standard stuff - physics, math, languages, etc. The short term is for classes that are a little more outside the box - Sociology of American Rock & Roll anyone? The teachers here are absolutely outstanding! You can totally tell that they love the school and truly believe in it's mission. And Paul, the headmaster, is just an all around great guy. Graduation was awesome. My graduating class was 57 people and Paul made a short speech about every single one of us! I am so thankful that I was able to go to Paideia on a scholarship. I regularly give them money so that others can do so as well. I am also backing them in their efforts to take over the whole block! Go Paideia!
