Nardin Academy

Welcome to Nardin Academy For more than 150 years, academic excellence has been the cornerstone of a Nardin education. It is the reason the Academy is recognized today as one of the premier educational opportunities in Western New York, serving students in its Co-ed Montessori and Elementary Schools and at its High School for Young Women.

Founded in 1857 by the Daughters of the Heart of Mary, Nardin Academy offers a strong, value-centered Catholic education to students from the preschool level through high school.

Nardin Montessori School is the oldest Montessori school in Western New York offering five early childhood classrooms for boys and girls ages 3-5 and one co-ed elementary classroom for ages 6-9.

Nardin Elementary School is a coeducational school for students in grades one through eight. The school is consistently ranked as one of the top in the area with innovative academic programs and opportunities to discover talents in the visual and performing arts.

Nardin Academy High School is a college preparatory program for young women. It has been consistently ranked the number one high school in Western New York.

Nardin, first place in Business First's annual rankings
of Western New York high schools.
Since 2007, when public and private ratings were combined, Nardin has remained solidly in the number one position. A key reason for Nardin's preeminence is its unparalleled Regents diploma rate. Ninety-six percent of its 2009 graduates earned advanced designations, which are awarded to students who pass at least eight Regents exams. No other Western New York high school did better than 86 percent.
