Academics
Students at Notre Dame Academy follow a rigorous academic program. All classes are college preparatory. Honors and Advanced Placement sections are offered in most subject areas. Notre Dame also provides an Integrated Curriculum experience for its students. This program, initiated in 2003, allows students to learn about a particular topic by integrating all disciplines. Time is set aside for each class to experience presentations by various faculty members and guest speakers on topics that encourage students to think critically, and in an integrated way, about the world around them.
