Rebel with a Cause 2023

Notre Dame Academy strives to graduate confident leaders who are enlivened with a spirit that inspires them to act with integrity, serve with compassion, and be diligent in their pursuits. This indelible spirit is a defining feature of the NDA experience.

The Rebel with a Cause event raises funds to support the financial aid needs of families seeking this unique education for their daughters. These funds are essential in eliminating financial boundaries for families who are aligned and committed to the values instilled at NDA. More than 60% of Notre Dame Academy students receive some form of financial aid from the school. Financial aid and scholarships enrich our community by providing equitable access to a premier education for young women who seek the opportunity to benefit from this transformative experience that inspires confident, forward-thinking, compassionate leaders.

An NDA education and our ability to offer financial aid is made possible by support from our community. Tuition covers only 78% of the true cost to educate each student. With your support as a sponsor or attendee at the Rebel with a Cause celebration, you ensure that current and future students can become Rebels with a Cause and make profound impacts on the world.

Notre Dame Academy is a dynamic, independent, Catholic school for girls in grades 7-12 sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Welcoming girls of all faiths, the Academy provides transformational experiences that “teach them what they need to know for life.” Our graduates are confident women who are lifelong learners, spiritual seekers, and compassionate global citizens.

Notre Dame Academy's philosophy of education is built on the belief that education should prepare students for their roles as women in the world. We wish to provide our students with the opportunity to become more aware of what is happening in their lives and to assume responsibility for themselves and their community. In order to learn to make responsible choices, Notre Dame students have the freedom to learn in a school dedicated to high academic standards, and to involve themselves in the community, both utilizing its resources and serving its people.
