Notre Dame Academy encourages students to take ownership of their learning and to be curious and ask questions. Our teachers inspire each student to choose their own pathway to knowledge; they can show and share what they know as opposed to simply memorizing facts. Our Lower School offers the following:

• Serving grades Pre-K through fifth grade
• Marist Catholic School
• Authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School
• “Fit for Life” program with recess and PE
• Small Class Sizes
• In addition to Mass, students have daily opportunities to pray, study their faith, and cultivate their relationship with God
• Age-appropriate community service learning projects
• iPads and MacBook’s in each grade level
• The curriculum encourages students to be self-directed, life-long learners with strong values. Academics are guided by faith and service, STEAM, and global awareness.
• Learning supports are provided to qualifying students. If your student has a current evaluation (<3 years) with an educational diagnosis, please contact tpayne@ndacademy.org or the admissions office for further information.
