What Our Community Is Saying
Sending our two daughters to NDA is the best decision we ever made as parents. NDA builds confidence, whether in the classroom or on the field, and we can see our girls growing into the best versions of themselves. NDA is a special place, and we are committed to partnering and supporting however we can.
- Current Parent
Notre Dame Academy has stayed true to its mission and has provided a learning environment for young women that prepares them well for college and life. As an alumna, I can attest that the friendships last a lifetime. NDA has a powerful network of successful women who look for opportunities to help each other. We were taught through the culture and opportunities available to look for ways to look beyond ourselves and find ways to help others in our own community and beyond.
- Alumnae
NDA has been transformative in my daughter’s life. The school truly helps girls become leaders. The teachers are so supportive of the students. The academics are excellent, and we also love how much of an emphasis NDA puts on kindness and building community. We can’t say enough good things about NDA!

They are leaders who respect and care for others. They use their voices to speak on behalf of those in need, working to create a world of peace and justice. We welcome students of all religious traditions, guiding them in personal faith formation and inspiring them to see the goodness of God.
