Academy of Notre Dame de Namur: Inspiring Young Women Since 1956

About
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.
Academics
Notre Dame students thrive in a rigorous college preparatory environment that inspires them to ask the “what if” questions so critical to intellectual inquiry, innovative exploration, and collaborative learning.
Admissions
Discover Notre Dame

What inspires your daughter? At Notre Dame, we empower every student to pursue her passion, find her voice, and discover her limitless potential. Call to speak with our Admissions Office to learn more: 610.971.0498.
Arts
At Notre Dame, we believe that the Fine and Performing Arts are both a creative and an academic pursuit. The development of imagination, creativity, and aesthetic judgment are essential complements to the critical thinking skills developed in other disciplines.
Athletics
Leadership is forged on Notre Dame’s playing fields, courts, and in the water. Our student-athletes build strong foundational skills - including teamwork, persistence, and self-discipline - that will positively impact their lives and careers.
Campus Ministry
Through Campus Ministry and worship, students deepen their understanding of the faith tradition of the Catholic Church and carry the spirit of Saint Julie Billiart in their own lives by serving the poor and those who are neglected.
Student Life
Student-led clubs, performing arts, student government, literary publications, and Community Time activities engage students in all grades. Notre Dame is a sisterhood, where classmates become lifelong friends, traditions are honored, and life inside “The Gates” is treasured.
Support ND
We are grateful to the many parents, alumnae, faculty, grandparents, and friends who support the mission of the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur through the Notre Dame Fund.
Every gift is an investment in the future of our students, the Academy, and our community.

Honor Code

The Academy of Notre Dame strives to create an atmosphere of openness, warmth, and responsible freedom so that all members may be able to internalize and implement those Christian values so important to personal and social growth.

"Notre Dame provides an environment where the girls have some freedom, yet live by the Honor Code. I believe this allows them to grow and mature by taking ownership of their choices."Estelle D., Parent

The Honor Code fosters the development of each community member's personal integrity, character and respect for self, others and school policies. The obligation to follow the guidelines will afford the opportunity to provide the proper academic atmosphere in the school. The specific goals of the Honor Code, supported by faculty, staff, and parents, stand as follows:

The Honor Code should serve as a system of behavior through which each person is primarily responsible for her/ his actions. If it becomes evident that this responsibility is not being met, it will be necessary for appropriate action.
The Honor Code should establish a level of self-discipline through which everyone is encouraged to make good decisions.
The Honor Code should create individual awareness of self in relation to the group.
The Honor Code should be instrumental in instilling the positive values.

The Honor Code will not be effective unless each community member makes its success our collective goal. It is our responsibility to remind those who violate the code of its importance to our Mission and Statement of Beliefs. Each member of the community is expected to conduct herself/ himself according to the norms of the Honor Code.
