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.

Natalie Stuart '22 Named Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week

All-American junior swimmer Natalie Stuart has been named Main Line Girls Athlete of the Week. A school record-holder in the 200 free relay and 400 free relay, Stuart also swims for the Suburban Seahawks, qualifying for the NCSA National Swimming Championships after placing fifth in the 1650 and 12th in the 500 free and 400 IM. Her 400 IM time (4:27.44) and 1650 time (17:11.06) qualified her for the NCSA National Swimming Championships.

When asked about her most influential swim mentors and what they’ve taught her, Natalie shared, “I am currently swimming for Coach Charlie Kennedy at Suburban Swim Club, and he has really taught me how to love the sport. At the Academy of Notre Dame, Head Coach Brigit Barry is really great at bringing the team together to have fun and swim fast. Finally, Coach Andrew is an assistant coach at SSC and Notre Dame, and he has helped me to believe in myself and make the most of my training.”
