Our time at QND played an integral part in building and developing our leadership, mentorship and interpersonal life skills. In addition, QND instilled and strengthened the moral compass that has helped guide us through life's decisions.
We value the strong educational foundation, the sense of community (Raider Pride!) and the lifelong friendships that QND provides.
We are deeply grateful our parents, teachers, coaches, staff and benefactors at QND were so invested in our education and growth into adulthood.
