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.

The Mind, Body and Spirit Initiative

In January 2019, the Alumnae Office introduced the Mind, Body, and Spirit Initiative. The primary goal of this initiative is to be intentional about the programming offered to Alumnae by ensuring that it is meaningful, brings value and enhances the mind, body and spirit, supported by the Mission and Hallmarks that Notre Dame was founded upon.

THE MIND

We are delighted to offer unique and intellectually stimulating opportunities. The first program we offered in 2019 was the Young Alumnae Museum Highlights Tour. Current faculty member and English and Arts Department Chair, Dr. Califf, led a small group tour at The Philadelphia Museum of Art. We are looking forward to building on this experience and continuing to offer similar events throughout the region.

Currently, we are offering the ND Alumnae Virtual Book Club! Those interested in joining the book club should reach out to:

THE BODY

We are excited to offer wellness opportunities for Alumnae to connect. In the summer of 2019, Alumnae Executive Board Member, Kristen McNeill '11, taught a private class at barre3 Rittenhouse that incorporated both barre and meditation. We are looking forward to offering yoga, meditation and more in the future.

THE SPIRIT

In March of 2019, the Alumnae came together to prepare and donate meals to local organizations. We will continue to offer opportunities for Alumnae to connect spiritually and through meaningful service projects.
