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.

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.
