Notre Dame Preparatory

Guided by the Society of Mary, Notre Dame Preparatory School’s mission is to “Work with God to form Christian People, Upright Citizens and Academic Scholars.” Notre Dame has established itself as a premier academic institution, where students are challenged to be their best in the classroom, on the stage, in the studio, on fields of play, and in their local and faith communities. Nurtured by a caring faculty who teach students to be inquirers who are balanced, principled and open-minded, NDP graduates leave our campus ready to change the world.

FAITH DEVELOPMENT:
Faith development is a hallmark of a Marist-inspired Notre Dame education. All students attend religion class daily, exploring subjects like Foundations of Christian Morality and Catholic Social Teachings. They also are required to perform service learning. Mass is celebrated in our chapel at appointed times throughout each week. Typically an all-school Mass is celebrated at least once a month. All students go on an annual spiritual retreat, with juniors and seniors also able to experience a Kairos retreat. Many juniors and seniors play active and varied roles in Campus Ministry.
