Philosophy

Notre Dame is a catholic school for young women which values teaching as an extension of Jesus’ work in today’s world.  In keeping with the spirit of St. Julie Billiart, the foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame, we believe that education is a ministry emanating from our faith in a loving God who cares for all.  The school’s educational program is designed to promote intellectual inquiry infused with the spirit of the Gospel.  We are committed to developing an educational program which challenges all members to both academic and personal excellence.  We expect members of the school community to grow in their sense of self-worth and in their ability to contribute to both society and the Church.

We respect each individual, student and staff members alike, as a unique person comprised of body, mind, heart, spirit and with a need for satisfying relationships.  We encourage understanding and appreciation for each person’s heritage

By becoming a member of the Notre Dame School community, each person enters a supportive environment which promotes the active involvement and shared responsibility essential to the intellectual, spiritual and social growth of all community members.
