Notre Dame Academy

"I am an alumna of NDA and I am certain that attending this school gave me the confidence and skills to pursue and attain success in higher education and my career. The young women of Notre Dame are given an excellent classroom education, but also learn social responsibility, courage, independence, and kindness. This is largely due to the close-knit faith community which is welcoming and inclusive. After college, I received a master's degree and became the first female executive in the risk management department at a major insurance carrier. I credit Notre Dame with giving me a strong moral compass, lifelong friendships, social skills and awareness, and a first class education. My parents worked very hard to send me to Notre Dame and I am forever thankful."

"I am an alumnus of Notre Dame Academy. I graduated in 1991 and went onto the Architecture program at Roger Williams University. I am now the owner of my own design firm specializing in residential and small commercial design. My time at NDA prepared me for the rigourous college program that I attended and also gave me the confidence to pursue my own practice after completing my education. Had it not been for my time at Notre Dame I don't believe I would have had the drive to pursue this career. My art teacher, Ms. Montagne, was instrumental in helping me to assemble an admissions portfolio. My small and structured classes also gave me the ambition to work hard. The all female class environment enables girls to focus primarily on their education while still creating wonderful friendships that will last. I think this school is a wonderful choice for any girl moving into middle school or high school. I believe this was the best choice for my education that my parents made and I am still grateful for having the opportunity to attend NDA."

"As a rising senior, I can confidently say I feel very prepared for college because of the education I have received at NDA. Here, teachers are passionate and students are motivated and eager to learn. NDA prepares young women to be strong, confident, faith-filled leaders. I am extremely grateful for the experiences I have had at Notre Dame as they have shaped me into the woman I am today."

"I do not enjoy attending Notre Dame Academy. The sports are very cliquey. The new IB program is failing. The communication from administration to students and parents is poor. Guidance department dismisses mental health. Little enjoyable clubs. All departments lack staff, math department has some awful teachers. Tuition is too high for this. Shouldn't have gone into IB without having enough staff or talented staff to take on the position of an IB level teacher."
