WHY NARDIN? Founded in 1857, Nardin Academy is the oldest independent, Catholic school in Western New York. Known for academic excellence, Nardin Academy maximizes student potential with dynamic K – 8 classrooms that appeal to different learning styles and go beyond the regular curriculum. Outside the limitations of New York State standardized tests, teachers have the flexibility to execute creative lessons and present material in ways which students find interesting, engaging and fun. Students in our Kindergarten through Grade 8 program experience an enhanced schedule, featuring extended periods that cascade throughout a 5-day rotation to appeal to different learning styles. In the fall, students participate in “DaVinci Days” every Friday, where time is set aside for project-based learning, allowing students to spend a half-day investigating and responding to real world problems, questions and challenges. Local area high schools report that Nardin students are among the most prepared for success. Nardin graduates have a seamless transition to their first choice high school and continue to do amazing things for the world.
