Our Mission

The Academy of Notre Dame de Namur, a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school, commits itself to the education of young women of grades 6 through 12 for responsible living in a global society. The Academy, rooted in the faith tradition of the Catholic Church, and the charism of Saint Julie Billiart, provides its students a challenging academic curriculum within a rich spiritual community in order to

• inspire them to live the prophetic nature of the gospel, with a passion for justice and love for the poor,
• enable them to develop the skills and desire necessary for life-long learning,
• empower them to be honorable, compassionate leaders.

Tuesday, February 12 is the third anniversary of the death of Sister Dorothy Stang, SND. Click here to see a presentation celebrating her life and mission.
