Notre Dame High School St. Louis, MO

Dear Potential Family,

For over 80 years Notre Dame High School has been rooted in strong Catholic traditions as it offers a college prep secondary education that empowers young women to become confident, compassionate, Christian leaders. Our approach to education offers students a fast start to collegiate success. Like the college student, the Notre Dame student learns and further develops organizational skills, time management, and self-advocacy. This educational approach teaches time and task management skills and challenges a student to take increased responsibility for her learning. At Notre Dame, all young women have an advisor to assure 1:1 attention and assistance. A modular schedule enables students and teachers alike to be available to each other. It is affiliated with the National Catholic Educational Association and is sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame.

Notre Dame gives students an early start on collegiate success by utilizing a college prep approach on a high school campus. Students attend regular classes on a flexible modular schedule with instructors providing engaging instruction and learning. Students participate in small group discussions, apply knowledge and skills in labs and studios, conduct independent research and participate in cooperative learning assignments. By giving students independence, students increase their self-confidence and learn to take accountability for their own continuous life-long learning. Notre Dame High School’s education experience is enhanced with technology including 1:1 iPad integration.

We are proud of Notre Dame High School and all that we offer. Our students thrive with the 1:1 support they receive. We encourage you to visit our beautiful campus to learn more!

Go Rebels!

Mrs. Amy Bush

Head of Academics & Instruction
