There is a General Fee which includes retreats, insurance, the school newspaper, lock and locker rental, identification card, the yearbook, Walkathon/Field Day T-shirts, library fee, laboratory fee, computer fee, supplementary textbooks, testing fees (NEDT and PSAT), and Parent Guild Fees.

A Family Activity Fee is required of every family and provides coupons that families can use at various events throughout the school year.All students are required to wear uniforms, which parents are responsible for obtaining.
Since tuition only partially covers the per student cost of education at NDA, the Office of Mission Advancement conducts an Annual Fund program. Parents, as well as other constituents, are asked to contribute each year to the Annual Fund.
Contributions are tax deductible; tuition is not.
