What makes NDA’s IB Program so distinctive is its focus on women’s education and offering both full diploma and a certificate program so that more young women can benefit. So if a young woman has an interest in a particular subject, for example English, she can earn an IB certificate in English, if she passes required course work and testing. NDA has the largest program in northwest Ohio, with almost 200 young women interested. With more than 25 teachers, counselors and administrators trained in the IB pedagogy and curriculum, its philosophy will become a part of every course. Being identified as an IB school further enhances NDA’s already outstanding reputation with colleges and universities.
