As an educational institution, Notre Dame School strives to provide an environment conducive to both instruction and the formation of the whole person.
Notre Dame School is steeped in the rich traditions of Catholicism and as such, infuses Gospel values through the total curriculum.
As a school whose name gives honor and recognition to Our Blessed Mother, we hope to pattern and model our efforts in light of her example.
With this in mind, Notre Dame School endeavors to teach as Jesus taught and to offer an education of academic excellence and the formation of sound moral and ethical consciousness.
Our students come to us from a diverse range of cultures, beliefs and abilities.
Cultures and beliefs are respected and abilities supported or enriched.
Our goal is to provide our students with the skills needed to succeed in a highly literate society, and then, as responsible faith-filled members of that society, to use those skills to create communities that actively promote social justice.
