International Program
Welcome to Notre Dame Academy!
Bienvenue! ようこそ! Willkomme
An organically diverse community of learners since 1949 Notre Dame Academy has been hosting international students since 1989. We have successfully welcomed students from our sister schools in Germany and India, as well as short-term, one year, or multi-year students from Chile, Italy, Spain, Japan, and China. A rigorous, college-preparatory school with a wide range of enrichment activities, NDA embraces the unique gifts of each student, tailoring our curriculum to ignite your passions, build character and deepen your faith. With personalized learning at the heart of our approach, we empower students to grow academically, spiritually and socially, equipping future leaders to make an impact in tomorrow’s world. International students considering NDA must be academically strong and possess relatively strong English skills.
NDA also celebrates the rich diversity of our community each spring with Heritage Week, consisting of a stage presentation, prayer service, food tasting, and cultural costume showcase. Many of our students also take a school trip abroad each spring or summer, including exciting places like Costa Rica, France, Mexico, Spain, and England in recent years.
