What Notre Dame Means to Us
Student Experience & Faculty Support
The Notre Dame Fund impacts every aspect of the student experience from a robust academic program to the vast array of extracurricular offerings including 44 clubs, 40 athletic teams, as well as art, music, & dance opportunities. Our dedicated Student Support team works with faculty and staff to advance the well-being of all students as they pursue their goals & graduate as confident leaders.
Financial Aid
Notre Dame is committed to offering tuition assistance to students and their families who otherwise would not have access to our exceptional education and experience. Support from The Notre Dame Fund plays a critical role in fulfilling this commitment as 30% of our current students receive need-based tuition assistance.
Sisterhood & Mission of St. Julie
The ND Sisterhood is deeply rooted in the charism of Saint Julie and the legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Guided by our Campus Ministry and DEI teams, students form lifelong bonds and share an enriched experience through weekly Community Prayer, service opportunities, Kairos and class retreats, and school liturgies.
Campus Enhancements
As our programming continues to innovate and expand, so do our campus needs. From new furniture and student lounges to new technology and classroom resources, there is an ongoing demand for enhancements across our 39-acre campus to support the world-class environment for our students to thrive each and every day.
