About ND

Faculty & Staff

Notre Dame’s faculty are among New York City’s most dedicated and talented educators.

Over 90% hold MA/MS or PhD degrees.  Notre Dame has the advantage of a much larger school’s curriculum, as students can take their pick of eleven AP courses, take up to seven years of foreign language, four years of art, and a full range of college prep courses and electives. Each academic year, while students are immersing themselves in their studies, they are also planning for their futures with the guidance of teachers and counselors. Our students benefit from an advisement program that is professional and personalized.

"I will definitely remember the nurturing and supportive environment that Notre Dame provides. It has taught me true leadership skills and a strong work ethic that I will take with me next year in college."
--Anna Marfino '24
