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.

"As soon as I stepped through the doors to Chez Nous, I knew that I was in the right place. The environment at Notre Dame has shaped me into the student I am today.  In the fall I will be attending Columbia University on a near full scholarship.  If I’m ever nervous at college, all I have to do is lean back on the foundation for success that Notre Dame has given me."
