Step 1: Submit your Inquiry Form

Step 2: Visit ND

The best way to learn about ND is to visit! Come spend time with us and get to see our school in action! Although ND is temporarily changing how we meet with families, it doesn’t change our excitement about getting to know you!

Admissions Interview (required): The admissions interview gives us a chance to learn more about your interests and gives us an opportunity to answer any questions you may have. All applicants are required to interview with an admissions representative. Families have the option of choosing an in-person interview or a virtual interview.

Schedule Your Interview

Explore ND Information Session: We invite you and your family to learn more about the ND Experience by attending one of our in-person or virtual information sessions! You’ll get a feel for what life is like as a Green Knight, meet members of our community, and have the opportunity to ask us some of your questions.
