What will we learn at the Open House?
The Open House is a chance for all interested students and their parents to learn more about the NDA community. Each guest will be taken on a student led tour and will hear presentations from teachers in each department. At the Open House guests will have the opportunity to explore the school campus, meet students, teachers, current NDA parents and to learn more about our academic and extracurricular program. No Reservations are required for Open House. When you arrive, please park in the elementary school lot off of Clarkson, just south of the school building. Out of respect for our neighbors, there is no parking in the residential area.

What happens in the admissions interview?
The interview is truly a time for us to get to know each applicant and her parents a little better. We are particularly interested in the reason a student wants to attend Notre Dame Academy, her experience with the Catholic faith and her desire to be part of the NDA community.


How many students generally apply to NDA?
We encourage all students to apply to more than one school. Frequently, therefore, we receive twice as many students for the freshman class as we can accept. We do have a waiting list and our standard class size is 120 - 130 students.

Does NDA accept transfer students?
We accept transfer students based on the current enrollment and if the prospective transfer student meets all of our admission requirements. Each transfer student is considered on a case-by-case basis.


Does NDA accept non-Catholic students?
As we are a Catholic school, we do give preference to Catholic students who actively practice their faith. However, every year we do offer admissions to a small number of non-Catholic students who are active in their own Christian faith, have had some exposure to Catholic teachings and education and meet our other requirements.
