The Academy of Notre Dame de Namur

The Academy of Notre Dame de Namur, a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school, commits itself to the education of young women in grades six through twelve for responsible living in a global society. The Academy, rooted in the faith tradition of the Catholic Church and the charism of Saint Julie Billiart, provides its students with a challenging academic curriculum within a rich spiritual community to achieve these goals: to inspire them to live the prophetic nature of the gospel, with a passion for justice and love for the poor, to enable them to develop the skills and desire necessary for lifelong learning, and to empower them to be honorable, compassionate leaders.
