Academic Excellence in a Faith-Centered Community
The Notre Dame Academy Preschool Program offers flexible, year-round school for children ages two to five. Our dedicated teachers share a love of early learning and strive for excellence in Catholic education.
Our teachers provide academic rigor and strong education outcomes by developing the minds, hearts, and souls of our children in a faith-centered environment and a nurturing community.

Curriculum
Notre Dame Academy prides itself on providing a challenging, yet fun curriculum for all grade levels. We know that students learn the best when they are engaged, curious, and hands-on. We use several different types of curriculums across the core subjects as well as Spanish and various forms of fine arts opportunities. Our students leave Notre Dame Academy prepared to tackle college prep courses no matter what high school they choose to attend. We believe in developing well rounded students within a strong community that offers a comprehensive curriculum with differentiation available to meet each student’s needs.

Students in grades in K-8 enjoyed presentations today from our guest speaker, Bryan Skavnak, author of Be Nice. Then End.
Mr. Skavnak's message was pretty simple. Use your manners, especially please and thank you! And be nice. 🥰

Today we wore our clothes backwards, did our hair crazy, and dressed in our favorite school color - blue! 💙
Catholic Schools Week dress up days are certainly a fan favorite. Tomorrow we will wear our red to remind us to be heart healthy. ❤️
It's officially Catholic Schools Week and we've hit the ground running. Right away this morning, each younger grade paired up with an older grade to create small kindness cards. These pictures are from the Kindergarten and 8th grade buddies. We love how this week brings our school community closer together.
Students may choose the recipients of their cards and hand them out to anyone in the building or take them home and share them outside of NDA. We are working to do our part to share gratitude, love and a little joy. #ndafaithful
“Both of my girls have attended this school since preschool. If you ever have the opportunity to support Catholic Schools for your children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, I highly recommend it. This has been the best opportunity for their self esteem, faith, community and personal well being.”
