At North Dallas Adventist Academy, we embrace a holistic approach to education, fostering an environment where academic excellence and spiritual growth go hand in hand. Grounded in Seventh-day Adventist principles, our learning philosophy is centered on nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Through engaging and personalized instruction, we aim to inspire a lifelong love for learning while instilling values of compassion, service, and faith. At NDAA, education is not just about acquiring knowledge; it's about developing character and preparing students to make a positive impact in the world. Welcome to a learning journey that transcends the ordinary, where faith and knowledge unite to shape future leaders.
NDAA began its education ministry, 40 years ago this year, as the Richardson Adventist School (RAS). The one room school was housed adjacent to the fellowship hall with just a handful of students. God honored the dedication of early supporters like Mrs. Olivares, Mr. Don Beck, and others. With the help of committed supporters of the Richardson Seventh-day Adventist Church, the school grew to become the church’s single largest ministry.
As God continued to bless RAS, the school eventually outgrew the church campus with 140 students in pre-kindergarten through 10th grade. Both 11th and 12th grades were added, along with a vibrant international student program, and in 2007 God led Pastor Paul Hunt to a ten-acre property. With buildings requiring only minor adjustments to meet the school’s basic operational needs, North Dallas Adventist Academy (NDAA) officially opened in August 2008 as a full K-12 academy.
By 2015, we had again reached capacity with our student body and began exploring options. In 2017, the Canyon Creek campus was purchased and the 2017 graduation ceremony was held at the new site. Today, North Dallas Adventist Academy continues to operate under full academy status with room for more students to join the NDAA community.
We thank God for continuing to bless this ministry and are looking forward to our next phase of growth. We invite you and your student to become part of our growing family
