As a former NDP alum and now parent of current students, I would recommend Notre Dame Prep to any family who is considering the best educational experience for their child.

Notre Dame is an academic focused school that also promotes Marist ways of life. The staff is highly attentive and helpful. The school is well organized. The kids seem happy and are shown how to be independent and also challenged academically. There are many options for after school activities and sports. Overall it is a great school. It definitely shows that this is an elite school with high standards all around.

Notre Dame Preparatory has been the best decision for our, now HS junior. The teachers and leadership are very student-focused. The school is preparing the kids for a rigorous college life, and also to be good humans. There are so many opportunities to be involved in sports, clubs, community service, etc. Our daughter is learning the academic and life skills she will need to be at the top after graduation.

We have sent (4) kids to NDPMA starting at middle school and it has been an awesome experience. Two have since graduated and they were extremely well prepared for college and with AP credits earned at NDPMA they both entered with sophomore standing. It is great having all the teachers actually know...
