Our girls are curious learners ready to explore all that is possible. Girls thrive in all roles here — as class president; lacrosse or robotics captain; or an advocate for the elderly. An all-girls’ learning community builds an ever-growing sense of confidence. Students lean-into new opportunities, knowing that setbacks are simply opportunities to grow.

Cuvilly, our middle school division, is where girls begin to learn and explore. Cuvilly is grounded in critical thinking and shaped by interdisciplinary learning. Our middle school girls grow in confidence and gain resiliency — skills which help them thrive and set a strong foundation for high school.

NDA’s singular academics support girls who are excited to learn. We offer more than twenty AP courses, small class size, and interactive learning. Our distinguished faculty takes students on a deep dive into learning, sharing their enthusiasm with each class. In 1804, St. Julie, founder of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, vowed to prepare girls for life. This remains our vow today.

Our exceptional student-athletes and coaches reflect the values of our athletic program — values which balance competitive performance, academic achievement, and sportsmanship. NDA teams consistently reach the playoffs and compete for state championships. And each year, student-athletes sign national letters of intent to play at the collegiate level.

Learning happens inside the classroom and beyond. Clubs are at the heart of experiential learning and we have 30 different opportunities. We encourage our girls to explore new experiences, make new connections, and grow. We are here to cheer them on.

Through the arts, girls explore their relationship to the world around them. Our programs give students an opportunity to express themselves on the stage, in concert, or in the studio. Our girls grow as creative and analytical thinkers, and come together as a community. Their talents bring joy to our entire school and beyond.

We support the whole student. To help girls flourish, our school and college counseling department includes a counseling team, adjustment counselor, and two dedicated college advisors. Our college counseling program extends well beyond the support found in most schools. NDA’s comprehensive support to students and families eliminates the need for independent college placement advisors.

BLI develops leadership curriculum and creates programming that integrates the Hallmarks of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur into our learning community. Through outside speakers, interdisciplinary education, and connections with alumnae, our girls have real-life experience with the Hallmarks, learning to grow as leaders and prepared for lives of purpose.
