Notre Dame Academy is a Catholic, private, fully-accredited
college preparatory school for young women, established
in 1949 by the Sisters of Notre Dame. Located in a residential
area of West Los Angeles, the Academy is a microcosm of
the ethnically-diverse community it serves. Young women
from as far north as Malibu, as far east as Pasadena and
as far south as Palos Verdes with varied ethnic, social
and economic backgrounds make up the progressive, talented
and service-oriented student body attending NDA.
Steeped in the tradition of “Educating Young Women
to Make a Difference,” Notre Dame Academy’s
unique educational experience combines a Catholic value-centered
program with a challenging and comprehensive academic curriculum.
As an Academy of the Sisters of Notre Dame, students share
a common bond and rich history with all students at Notre
Dame Schools around the world. At the heart of this international
educational heritage are four teaching cornerstones:
The dignity of the teacher;
The worth of the individual student;
The thoroughness of instruction in all subjects;
The centrality of religion.
The Academy’s student-centered
program stresses the importance of personal spirituality,
leadership, concern for the common good, service to one another
and to the greater community. Within the context of spiritual
and moral values, students learn to view the world globally
-- with its many opportunities and challenges. |
