The Notre Dame Schools are made up of a three and four year old pre-school, Kindergarten through sixth grade elementary and a seven through twelve junior/senior high building.
Students make the transition from the sixth grade up to the junior high level smoothly after numerous tours of the junior/senior high building and classrooms.
Students from the eighth grade seemlessly transition into the ninth grade as well.
No junior high students are in classes with high school students.
Notre Dame Elementary is a high quality Catholic school committed to building the Kingdom of God.
