School Reviews
| 5 This is an amazing school. Everyone we have encountered in our 4 years here has been a blessing to our lives. Our children are extremely enriched and we couldn't be happier with our decision to send them to Notre Dame School. - Posted by Parent - parent |
| 5 This school is an extremely special place. Academically you couldn't ask for a better environment to prepare children for the rigor of honors and AP courses in high school. Socially the school is supportive and warm. The families are close knit and very involved. I could not ask for a better more supportive environment for my child. - Posted by Parent - Linnzi |
