Founded in 1912 by the Sisters of St. Ursula, Notre Dame is a private, Catholic, college-preparatory school for young women.

The school provides a challenging curriculum, which integrates classroom learning with educational and cultural opportunities in our urban setting. The school’s curriculum is rich in the sciences, arts and technology. 

For over 100 years, Notre Dame has had a reputation for high academic standards while providing a warm and family-like environment for its students.

Notre Dame has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the “outstanding high schools” in the country. Our educational program is directed toward the development of each student as a whole person. We seek to meet the needs of each student intellectually, socially and spiritually. 
"Throughout my years here at Notre Dame, I have found that within these walls filled with laughter and shared dreams of young women, there lies a unique space where sisterhood is not just a phase, but rather a powerful narrative unfolding every day."
--Kristina Layos '24
