Academics
Notre Dame Academy’s educational vision holds that students learn to love God above all and live with compassion, strength, and integrity when they experience our guiding principles woven throughout the fabric of the learning community. We focus on encouraging the children to utilize their talents and develop their intellectual and creative interests.
At NDA, we believe in providing quality education to our children and advocate planting challenges along the way of their growth, so that they can truly achieve comprehensive growth, not just inside the classroom, but also outside of it.
Beyond Academics
At Notre Dame Academy, we believe that learning beyond the four walls of the classroom is indispensable to the students’ all-round development. It makes education wholesome catering not only to academics but also the signature strengths and passion of the students. Teaching students to recognize their potential, to pursue their passion, and to thrive in an ever-changing world, is of utmost priority at Notre Dame Academy. Students are exposed to Art, Music, Dance, Yoga, Sports, and Field Trips to cater to their aesthetic development. They are prepared to step outside into the world with more choices and more confidence.
Facilities
We know that the school’s learning environment plays an important role in every student’s development and success. Hence, we put much care and consideration into the spaces we provide, making sure they are designed to nurture each student’s academic performance, curiosity and creativity.
Over the years, our campus buildings have evolved in step with the latest technologies and implement advanced teaching and learning styles. As all our facilities are intended to improve student health and engagement, we focus our attention on ensuring every building’s acoustics, lighting, size, temperature and air quality are ideally suited.
Student Life
The campus of Notre Dame Academy is deeply rooted in nature and its elements and because of the open design of the school, students better connect with their natural surroundings. The picturesque beauty of the school, its highly competent faculty, and the multitude of provisions for extra-curricular activities make Notre Dame Academy the perfect school for your child.
Testimonials
It has been two years since our daughter is studying at Notre Dame Academy and I must say that we are really grateful that she is a part of this wonderful institute. The best thing that we like about this institute is the values taught to the child in addition to the exceptional education. The teachers are warm and understanding and they encourage each child to grow and excel. Everyday we are reminded in some way that we made the correct decision. Even during these trying times, our daughter is still awaiting to go back to school which really says a lot about the environment created by the school for the child.

Notre Dame Academy strives to uphold their motto “Truth and Universal Love”. The school focuses on making the entire learning process enjoyable. Principal Sr. Prabha loves children and treats them with compassion and empathy. We found teachers and staff very patient, caring and always willing to go the extra mile to help, encourage and make a difference in our children. Our daughters, one an alumna and the other in middle school, have inculcated a lot of values from NDA. Choosing NDA for our daughters was the best decision ever. We would like to personally thank NDA for all the endless and enthusiastic efforts in energising and channelising these students and thus making the school their second home in the true sense of the term.

This will be our 10th year with Notre Dame Academy. In these 10 years, we have seen the school growing. To name a few - introduction of progressive teaching methods and providing easy access to technology for students. All the kids are given equal opportunity to participate in various activities, which helps in overall development of a child. School reports provide clear feedback about the child's progress and parent teacher meetings gives a good opportunity to the parents to have open discussion with the teachers. We have seen remarkable growth in both our kids, not only academically but also in terms of social and moral values. Even during the pandemic, there is full support from the school and teachers are doing a remarkable job, by ensuring that students’ progress does not suffer.

The focus is to bring the best out of the them, make them good human beings and mould them into responsible citizens. That's exactly what we consider good education to be.

Our daughter got admission at Notre Dame Academy for the Year 2020-2021. Starting a new school year is always full of emotions, especially during pandemic time. We were really worried as the classes started with virtual learning. But soon we started trusting the process of change. The teachers are well qualified, thoughtful, and nurturing and we could see that our daughter is getting best form of education from Notre Dame Academy. NDA curriculum has a beautiful blend of academics and extra-curricular activities. The homework and the assignments system are well-organized and effective. Even though our daughter couldn't access various facilities such as sports, libraries etc. she still got opportunities to mingle with other students and slowly started feeling that she is one among them. We felt this school allows our daughter to reach her fullest potential without pushing her too hard. NDA has definitely helped our daughter to instil strong moral and spiritual values.

As a parent of 3 children who are a part of the Notre Dame family, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the principal, teachers and all the staff of NDA for my children's upbringing. NDA is equipped with excellent infrastructure including a large campus, smart classrooms and sports facilities like basketball, volleyball and football courts. NDA also has a very well managed transport facility. Apart from academic excellence and extracurricular activities, NDA also focuses on character formation and moral values. The teachers hold a close bonding with the children, enabling them to give personal guidance and mentoring for their success. Thank You
