Athletics 

We offer freshman, junior varsity, and varsity levels based on participation in each sport. There are 19 programs over the course of the fall, winter, and spring seasons. Students are encouraged to participate in athletics either competitively or to simply be involved. Approximately 90% of NDA students participate in athletics during some point in the school year.

At NDA, we believe a well-run athletics program reflects the mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur to prepare girls for life. Our program complements our school’s goals for a holistic education. Athletics promote a sense of community that fosters leadership, discipline, commitment, and a deep sense of responsibility. In 32 of the last 38 years, The Boston Globe has honored NDA with the Neil Singelais Award for having the highest winning percentage while displaying admirable sportsmanship.

We have middle school sports specifically designated for our Cuvilly Division. In some cases, Cuvilly student-athletes may participate in the high school program.

In the designated Cuvilly athletic program, our goal is to provide an opportunity for every interested student to play on a team. The emphasis at this level is on instruction, development, teamwork, fair play, and sportsmanship. Participation is a key component for Cuvilly student-athletes as well as development of the student-athlete as a whole. These programs are designed as instructional. At this level, it is anticipated that all team members will play in every game.
