With spring in full swing, Nardin students across the Academy are showing their commitment to service this season of giving.

True to the tradition of our founders, the Daughters of the Heart of Mary, Nardin Academy promotes the values of fostering connections and embracing all. In living these values, Nardin seeks to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all members of the Nardin community, students, families, faculty, staff, and alumni alike. In this effort, the Board of Trustees prioritized diversity, inclusion, and opportunity (DIO) in its strategic plan, and, as part of a student and administration collaborative effort, adopted a new diversity statement.
