Snapshot: Notre Dame School

Feature_NotreDameSchool

Under the patronage of Our Blessed Mother, Notre Dame School partners with parents, the primary educators, in the sacred mission of guiding their children to Heaven. Our Catholic classical liberal arts education engages students’ natural desire for truth, beauty, and goodness. Through the integration of faith and reason, we form wise, virtuous, and free students who live joyfully as disciples of Jesus Christ, serving God and others.

At Notre Dame, we believe in providing the opportunity for Catholic Education to learners of all abilities and have built out our resources to address the varying developmental needs of our students through highly qualified, specialized staff and intervention tools. The school also offers an expanse of elective enrichment opportunities both during and after the school day, including the school musical, Student Ambassador program, Student Council, study skills, scholastic bowls, pottery, STEM, digital literacy, athletics and liturgical ministry opportunities. Notre Dame provides full-day kindergarten, full-day prekindergarten, and before- and after-school care to support families.

The Catholic classical liberal arts curriculum emphasizes a depth of knowledge, critical thinking, problem solving, communication, collaboration, and cultivation of high moral character. Rooted in timeless principles and integrated with Catholic teachings, the curriculum spans grammar, logic, rhetoric, literature, theology, Latin, mathematics, science, and the arts. Teachers lead students through stages of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom while developing habits of focus, diligence, and perseverance.

Notre Dame’s community-focused culture replicates the warmth of family life, fostering kindness, communication, and safety. Faculty members create a nurturing atmosphere by partnering with parents to seamlessly blend school and home life. Students actively embrace virtues like charity, justice, and humility through service and interactive community building experiences.

Grounded in its rich, seventy year history and multi-generational community, Notre Dame prepares students to thrive in their first-choice high schools and beyond. Graduates carry forward the school’s legacy of leadership, academic excellence, and spiritual formation and often return as alumni to continue their support of the school community.
