Social Studies
The Social Studies Department embraces the Hallmarks of the Sister of Notre Dame de Namur. We educate our students to act on the behalf of social justice and peace in the world. In the social studies classroom, we foster the development of global perspectives, acknowledging the diversity of our world. Through research, reading, discussion, debate and classroom activities, we encourage learning as an exercise whose goals are not only the development of self, but a call to community action for the betterment of the world.

For over 35 years, NDA has sent students to Washington, D.C. to participate in this Congressionally–sponsored educational program. Students are able to debate policy issues with other students from around the United States. They, meet with their representatives and staff, listen to policy experts, and explore the museums and monuments of our nation’s capital.
