- The Notre Dame of Marbel University (NDMU) is a sectarian institution situated in the culturally pluralistic province of South Cotabato, on the island of Mindanao, Philippines. It started as Notre Dame of Marbel (NDM), a secondary level educational institution founded by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) with the Religious of Virgin Mary (RVM) Sisters in 1946. It is the first high school to open in South Cotabato and Koronadal Valley. In 1950, the Oblate Fathers turned over the Boys Department's ownership and management to the Marist Brothers of the Schools (FMS). Two years later, the Dominican sisters assumed the direction of the Girls Department. The Marist Brothers, through the years, have transformed it into a College (Notre Dame of Marbel College). Inspired by the charism of Saint Marcellin Champagnat, Notre Dame of Marbel University anchors its faith and life on the following core values as foundational qualities with which the Marist Brothers, Mission Partners, and students approach the entire educational process and academic atmosphere of the University: Family Spirit, Marian, Love of Work, Preference for the Least Favored, Quality Education, Integrity of Creation, and Culture-sensitivity. Notre Dame of Marbel University occupies an 8-hectare lot main campus along the busy Alunan Avenue, City of Koronadal, South Cotabato. It is in the heart of the City of KOronadal and adjacent to the University is the South Cotabato DepEd Division office, the SMRAA Sports Complex, the South Cotabato Gymnasium and Cultural Center, and the Development Bank of the Philippines and within walking distance to the major commercial centers of the City, banks, government agencies, private companies/establishments, the City Hall of Koronadal and the Provincial Capitol of South Cotabato. By its location and having very good cemented roads and highways, the rest of Koronadal and its environs are easily accessible by private or public transportation. Through the years, Notre Dame of Marbel University has become an important landmark sharing the development growth of a growing Agro-Industrial zone in the Southern Philippines. With thirty (30) large and small functional buildings, the University has a population of 10,000 consisting of administrators, faculty members, students (Elementary, High School, College, Graduate School, and Short-term courses), and Non-teaching support staff. Seventy-five percent of the students are from the rural area outside the City of Koronadal, and close to 85% are children of farmers, whose income are very much dependent on agriculture.NDMU has other campuses that serve the educational needs of South Cotabato and its environs. Five (5) kilometers away from the main campus is a Demonstration Farm, complete with structures and instructional facilities for the Agriculture Department. Planted on the 35-hectare Demo Farm are varied crops plus 800 mango trees and other fruit trees that meet the Agriculture students' instructional and laboratory needs. The Demo Farm also houses livestock for academic purposes and a human-made lake for tilapia culture. The most modern post-harvest facilities installed in the Demo Farm also serve as a training center for the CCC-Farmers College and other Agriculture-based projects of the University. Love of the poor is a precious part of the heritage left by Blessed Marcellin Champagnat, the founder of the Marist Congregation. In the face of poverty, of the poor's needs, he would be there with his friendship and his assistance, with his Brothers, with consolation and material help. It is in this rationale that NDMU named its Extension Department "Champagnat Community College," which is concentrated on helping the impoverished sector of the society through its extension service programs. The increasing awareness of people toward education and social crises puts NDMU in the essential prerogative to reach out and make its resource readily available to other communities in order to give a flexible continuing education that does not provide only formal education to NDMU students but also non-formal education that reaches down to the marginalized poor and the less privileged. To maximize the use of building spaces and strengthen administrative, physical logistics, the St. Lorenzo Ruiz administration wing was renovated to house the President's Office, Board Room, Graduate School Dean's Office, Faculty, and Conference Rooms, and the Research Office. In 2008, the CHED, DepEd, and Teachers Education Council awarded the University as the Training Institution of the DepEd and INSET Program. The CHED also awarded the Teacher Education Program of the University as the Center of Excellence in Teacher Education. To keep pace with the needs of the Business Programs, the Maurus James Hall was renovated in 2009 to house the business simulation room, new audio-visual room, and spacious classrooms. The College of Business Administration building and the HRM Laboratories were also constructed to provide upgraded facilities. Likewise, to provide the community with greater access to the MedTech Diagnostic and Training Laboratory services, it was transferred to its new location along Alunan Avenue with complete equipment and facilities. The early part of 2010 marked another milestone of the University's daring move to provide educational programs needed by the community. It opened the BS Criminology to provide a professional workforce to law enforcement agencies locally and nationally. The third floor of the Doherty Hall was renovated to accommodate the Criminology Laboratories. As NDMU continues to pave the way towards making history, it has become more aware and reflective of its earnest attempts to keep pace with the changes and needs of the communities it serves and play an active role in the process of developmental change.

The year 1953 marked the modest beginning of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University, which started as an annex of Notre Dame of Lagao. Like its parent school, ND Dadiangas was a high school for both boys and girls in the Dadiangas area. While Notre Dame of Lagao was handed over by the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (O.M.I.) Fathers to the Marist Brothers (F.M.S.) in 1952, the Brothers solely established the annex school ND Dadiangas, with Brother Damian Teston, F.M.S. as the first school Director. This was the first school founded by the Marist Brothers in the Philippines. The second one was the Marist School in Marikina in 1964. The first four years under Brother Teston was marked with informal structures and work arrangements. The Brothers in the community helped each other in running the school. Two years later, in 1955, Notre Dame of Dadiangas became independent of Notre Dame of Lagao. The first Marist Community of Dadiangas was composed of Brothers Alfred George Ouellette, F.M.S., Michael O'Keefe, F.M.S., and Sergio Dignadice. The Brothers bought a four-hectare land for the High School Boys Department. After winning some legal battles on land ownership, the Brothers developed the four-hectare land site into a high school campus. In 1958, the Brothers handed the old school site near the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage church to the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena. The Sisters run the school exclusively for the girls while the Brothers administered Notre Dame of Dadiangas exclusively for the boys. Another milestone in the university's life was the grant of the renewal of the University's Autonomous Status by the Commission on Higher Education. This is effective March 11, 2009 – March 20, 2014. Two new programs, Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management and Bachelor of Science in Tourism Management, were opened. A laboratory for these programs was also constructed. During the First Semester, the IBED-High School Department was resurveyed by PAASCU and was granted a five-year renewal of its accreditation. During the first semester, both the College and the Graduate School prepared their reports for PAASCU evaluation scheduled on February 1-6, 2010. In June 2012, NDDU continued its mission to widen the educational program for the community. Four new programs were opened: Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology, Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy, Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science, and Bachelor in Elementary Education major in Special Education. Two of these programs are in Health Sciences. These are alternative programs for B.S. Nursing, which has started to decline as a favored choice of parents and students. When classes opened in June 2012, the new programs' enrollment is as follows: Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Medical Technology, 44 students B.S. in Pharmacy, 30 students B.S. in Environmental Science, 11 students and BEEd major in Special Education, 12 students. Other significant developments during the SY 2012-2013 are three programs, Bachelor of Arts, BS in Business Administration, and B.S. Elementary Education and Bachelor of Secondary Education were granted Level IV accreditation, the first Level IV in Region XII, while B.S. Nursing and the Grade School Department were granted Level III accreditation. In the IBED Espina Campus, the construction of the administration building started in June 2012. Dato Low Tuck Kwong funded this, a recipient of the degree, Doctor of Humanities, Honoris Causa, from Notre Dame of Dadiangas University in March 2012.

- As a liberal arts university, we encourage students to broaden their horizons and develop critical and creative thinking skills as well as compassionate and understanding hearts, following the educational principles set forth by St. Julie Billiard, the foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Notre Dame Seishin University, a liberal arts and sciences university, seeks truth, goodness, and beauty with its educational ideals informed by the Christian spirit. We are committed to educating students in an academic community rooted in the liberal arts and sciences, to challenge them to become true, free women through learning and research, to encourage them to succeed personally and professionally in society, and above all, to encourage them to continue seeking the meaning of life. Notre Dame Seishin University, the first and the only women’s university in Okayama Prefecture in 1949, has already celebrated its 60th Jubilee. We now have eight sister universities or colleges in the U.S.A., the U.K., and Belgium. We have agreed to collaborate with 12 others in Europe, North America, Australia, and Asia regarding study abroad programs. We are eager to further our endeavors to provide an academic background for young people to become leaders in the 21st century. One of the unique classes we are proud of is “On the Human Being,” which all the freshmen must take. They learn the essence of being human through the Christian spirit based on the ideas of St. Julie Billiard. Students can enjoy their lessons in small-sized classes in which they have close contact and frequent communication with their teachers. Teachers are committed to finding the best methods of imparting their knowledge and creating mutual learning environments. To do this, students are encouraged to share their opinions with others and participate in discussions. In response to the rapid development of digital media, the university hosts a LAN network on campus, and all students have access to computer facilities. In addition to internet facilities, there are two sophisticated ‘Computer Assisted Language Learning’ (CALL) laboratories which offer a convergence between language learning and information science. We have eight sister colleges or universities worldwide and have collaboration agreements for study-abroad programs with 14 colleges or universities. Many students from NDSU have been abroad to be hosted by our worldwide family network and have returned enriched by the new dimensions of friendship and knowledge they have gained through the experience. There are about 50 groups, circles, and clubs open to student participation. These include a variety of multicultural activities, for example, Japanese tea ceremony, flower arranging, ‘koto’ (Japanese harp), handbell, orchestra, Glee, and ‘shodo’ (Japanese calligraphy). Also, there are both Japanese and English drama clubs. There are several to choose from, including kendo (Japanese fencing), volleyball, and cheer-leading if you prefer athletics. Over the years, our library has become more sizable and now boasts more than 300,000 books, 2,800 magazines, and various audio-visual materials, including video cassettes, CDs, and DVDs. There are 319 seats in our open-shelved interior. Books can freely be taken from the shelves and referred to on the spot. The documents and materials in the library can be easily accessed on or off-campus via the computer catalog. Moreover, the local network is connected to many external educational and research institutes near and far from which information may be derived.
- Kyoto Notre Dame University is a private university in Kyoto, Japan. It was founded as a four-year women's college in 1961 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, a global Catholic congregation devoted to transforming women's lives through education. The university now includes graduate programs for both men and women. Recognized for its graduates' excellent quality, the university provides vital values-oriented education that emphasizes the spiritual and intellectual development of the whole person. This emphasis is reflected in the university motto, Virtus et Scientia (Virtue and Knowledge). Kyoto Notre Dame University nurtures creative thinking, practical skills, and a spirit of cooperation for active participation in an increasingly global society. In addition to a rigorous curriculum, a wide variety of programs, services, and activities provide opportunities that challenge each student to develop her potential as a unique individual. Our university has something that gradually becomes a part of your life. That is the founding spirit of our university. In 2008, we showed the way to growth in easy to understand words by following Mary, Mother of Christ, from whom our school takes its name. They are the following four ideas "Respect," "Dialogue," "Empathize," and "Take action." "Respect" means that we face ourselves, other people, and all things in nature and creation with respect from our real heart. "Dialogue" means that we listen with full hearts, learning through our sincere relationship to the world, and exploring the truth. "Empathize" means that with our hearts open, we have a real sensitivity to people's needs and age. "Take action" means that with communication, firm resolution, and a sense of responsibility, we take action for the sake of the happiness of others and peace in the world. The unified action of these four ideas is what we can acquire throughout our whole life. This is a continuous action, requiring of us a deep spiritual effort. There is no moment when we can say that we have mastered all of them. From educational facilities equipped with the latest technology to support diverse curricula to recreational spaces that offer comfortable study and relaxation time, the campus environment stimulates intellectual curiosity and fosters rich sensibilities. The Library houses over 200,000 volumes on a diverse range of subjects. To enhance the educational and research environment, the Library and media facilities were set to relocate Eugenia Hall in 2014.
- Those words suggest a belief in something beyond our capabilities and understanding. They suggest that we must possess the necessary component required to sustain such conviction, especially during difficult times. That component, of course, is faith. It often sees us through the storms of daily life and is the one constant in our lives that we can truly count on. Faith does not know what the future holds but knowing who holds the future. At Notre Dame, we work hard every day at instilling that belief and confidence in ourselves, and, most significantly, within our students. It is the spiritual bond that connects our entire community and is intended to bring us closer together. There will be times in our lives where we feel alone or even abandoned times when our faith is put to the test. When we are going through something difficult and wonder where God is, we must remember that the teacher is always quiet during a test. Quiet yet always present, aware, and ready to assist if and when needed. This school year, as we face all of life'slife's challenges and strive toward their solution, let us be mindful that we are human and imperfect and mindful that all things are possible with God'sGod's help. Mindful that….we can do all things through Him. In the early 1950s, Archbishop Duke invited religious orders from across North America to come to Vancouver to found a high school to educate the children of ten Catholic parishes in east Vancouver and Burnaby (Corpus Christi, Holy Cross, Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Helen'sHelen's, St. Jude'sJude's, St. Mary'sMary's, St. Theresa'sTheresa's, Our Lady of Sorrows, Sacred Heart). Halifax'sHalifax's Sisters of Charity accepted his challenge, and in 1953 Notre Dame opened its doors for the first time. Notre Dame Regional Secondary is co-educational, offering academic, fine arts, business programs, athletic, performing arts, and other extra-curricular programs for students from grades 8 to 12. Notre Dame Regional Secondary School is a Catholic school, one with the mission of Christ, which seeks to educate the whole student — the body, the mind, and the spirit. In 1953, Archbishop Duke invited the Sisters of Charity of Halifax to establish a high school to educate the children of ten Catholic parishes in east Vancouver and Burnaby (Corpus Christi, Holy Cross, Immaculate Heart of Mary, St. Francis of Assisi, St. Helen'sHelen's, St. Jude'sJude's, St. Mary'sMary's, St. Theresa'sTheresa's, Our Lady of Sorrows, Sacred Heart). The school is co-educational, offering academic, fine arts, business programs, athletic, performing arts, and other extra-curricular programs for students from grades 8 to 12. Following British Columbia'sColumbia's education model, Notre Dame practices an inclusive model, promoting equitable learning access. To ensure that individual needs are met, Student Services collaborates with parents, teachers, and students to create an Individual Education Plan. An Individual Education Plan describes individualized goals and what is required to achieve those goals. Individual Education Plans are often necessary because their learning needs are different from course'scourse's learning outcomes. The Notre Dame Student Services Department is a team of Teachers, Special Education Assistants, and the Student Services Department Head. Teachers in the department teach a variety of classes. Program Support focuses on developing organization and time management skills, improving reading and writing skills, and supporting students in their academic classes. Work Experience and an Apprentice Program allow students to build skills necessary for the transition into the workplace after high school. Life skills teach the functional curriculum, daily living skills, and social skills for students on modified school programs. Special Education Assistants work with students in the classroom, one-on-one or small groups, implementing Individual Education Plans. Special Education Assistants provide adaptations and modifications to the learning environment, materials being used, and information presentation.
- Athol Murray College of Notre Dame is a private, independent, co-educational boarding high school rooted in the Catholic tradition open to students of all faith backgrounds. The College's program is developed according to the teachings, morals, and liturgical practice of the Roman Catholic Church. The College maintains an ecumenical outlook and encourages all to seek God, put their faith in Him, and live by their belief. Athol Murray College of Notre Dame is committed to developing young men and women to become purposeful leaders with virtuous character. Athol Murray College of Notre Dame provides an exceptional educational and boarding experience with a balance of strong academic, athletic, and spiritual growth in a safe and caring prairie environment. Suppose one could picture Father Athol Murray walking down the main street of Wilcox, Saskatchewan. In that case, one can easily envision Pere approaching a young student in a gruff but warm, fatherly tone welcoming the new student to Notre Dame College. Father Murray left this earth in 1975, but the Notre Dame that he built together with the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis remains with us to this day as it has since its inception in 1920. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, but open to students of all faiths, Athol Murray College of Notre Dame puts a strong emphasis on delivering education and character formation based on the beliefs and principles of Christian Humanism. We have a balanced approach as we pay attention to the development of the mind, the body, and spirit within a community environment. The underlying beliefs that there is a God, that God has revealed Himself to us in the flesh and the Word and that God wishes to grace us or help us are fundamental to life at Notre Dame. "To Him who does what in Him lies God will not deny His Grace" –the great quote from St. Augustine of Hippo inspired Father Murray and is the driving inspiration that assists our students. Our students are challenged to achieve with character in all that they do. Father Murray's many letters, speeches, and lectures have left us with a beautiful little paradigm in regards to fulfilling this. The Notre Dame academic program is an integral part of the development of the complete Notre Dame Hound. Graduates from Notre Dame are regularly accepted at top universities in Canada, the United States and abroad. At Notre Dame, our academic strength lies in the philosophy that all students benefit from a positive learning environment. It is more than the delivery of the curriculum that is important. Our students excel in an environment that is supportive and demanding, challenging each student to strive for growth and understanding in all academic areas. A professional, highly educated, and highly motivated academic faculty provides students with a unique learning experience. Creating a positive classroom environment where students are challenged to think and speak for themselves contributes to the education of our students. The Notre Dame academic program demands excellence from students and prepares them to achieve greatness beyond Notre Dame. Meets once a week, and explore a variety of different artistic techniques in regards to art such as pottery, painting, etc. The choral and music department organizes several performances throughout the year, including a choral trip in the spring. This department also helps students develop an interest in music with individual instrument instruction. Our Notre Dame Canadians Choral Group does several concerts throughout the year locally and across Western Canada. The Drama Club produces two major productions each year. The first production, held at Christmas, features a classic Christmas story. The second production in the spring features a different story type each year. Auditions are open to all students. The Multi-Media Club offers opportunities for students to become involved in the digital world of photography, film, iMovie, yearbook, and Stevia (an immediate video analysis tool for coaches). Thousands of digital photographs fill Notre Dame's campus boards, webpage, yearbook, and iMovie productions and our family photo portal - Vidigami. Students digitally document every activity on campus and take great pride in being the 'memory keepers' of this generation of Hounds and their families. Through thousands of hours of volunteer work, our Multi-Media Club members can be seen with cameras in hand at the arena, on the field, and in the classroom. Multi-Media Club members earn a Saskatchewan Learning Special Projects credit combined with their academic credit total for graduation. Students need to complete the required skills and earn a percentage grade. The goal of the Outdoor Education program is to expose students to leadership based and team-building experience in the outdoors of western Canada. Students learn to plan, pack, and work together on various challenging trips in all four seasons. They learn basic survival, backpacking, canoeing, and meal planning, putting these skills to use in a real outdoor setting. At the end of the year, a five-day fly-in canoe trip on the Churchill River system completes the outdoor education experience. The Yearbook Club produces the year of memories for our Hounds in an outstanding publication. A professional, highly educated, and highly motivated academic faculty provides students with a unique learning experience. Faculty create a positive classroom environment where students are challenged to think and speak for themselves. An average class size of 16 students allows for healthy debate and individual attention. Faculty offer extra help daily during scheduled office hours. Students address faculty and staff by their first names, fostering a culture of trust and mutual respect. All of our faculty have earned their Bachelor of Education, and a number are equipped with a post-graduate degree.
- The University of Notre Dame is a Catholic academic community of higher learning, animated from its origins by the Congregation of Holy Cross. The University is dedicated to the pursuit and sharing of truth for its own sake. As a Catholic university, one of its specific goals is to provide a forum where, through free inquiry and open discussion, the various lines of Catholic thought may intersect with all the forms of knowledge found in the arts, sciences, professions, and every other area of human scholarship and creativity. The intellectual interchange essential to a university requires and is enriched by diverse scholars and students' presence and voices. The Catholic identity of the University depends upon and is nurtured by a predominant number of Catholic intellectuals. The University leadership has consistently maintained this ideal throughout its history. However, what the University asks of all its scholars and students is not a particular creedal affiliation, but a respect for the objectives of Notre Dame and a willingness to enter into the conversation that gives it life and character. Therefore, the University insists upon academic freedom that makes open discussion and inquiry possible. The University prides itself on being an environment of teaching and learning that fosters its students' development of those disciplined habits of mind, body, and Spirit that characterize educated, skilled, and free human beings. Also, the University seeks to cultivate in its students an appreciation for the outstanding achievements of human beings and a disciplined sensibility to the poverty, injustice, and oppression that burden the lives of so many. The aim is to create a sense of human solidarity and concern for the common good that will bear fruit as learning becomes service to justice. Notre Dame also has a responsibility to advance knowledge searching for truth through original inquiry and publication. This responsibility engages the faculty and students in all areas of the University, but particularly in graduate and professional education and research. The University is committed to constructive and critical engagement with the whole of human culture. The University encourages a living consonant with a Christian community and manifests in prayer, liturgy, and service. Residential life endeavors to develop that sense of community and responsibility that prepares students for subsequent leadership in building a society that is at once more human and more divine. The mission statement speaks of the University of Notre Dame as teaching and research, scholarship and publication, service, and community. These components flow from three characteristics of Roman Catholicism that image Jesus Christ, his Gospel, and his Spirit. A sacramental vision encounters God in the whole of creation. In and through the visible world in which we live, we come to know and experience the invisible God. In mediation, the Catholic vision perceives God present in but working through persons, events, and material things. There are intelligibility and coherence to all reality, discoverable through Spirit, mind, and imagination. God's grace prompts human activity to assist the world in creating justice grounded in love. God's way to us comes as communion, through the communities in which men and women live. This community includes the many theological traditions, liturgies, and spiritualities that fashion the Church's life. The emphasis on community in Catholicism explains why Notre Dame historically has fostered familial bonds in its institutional life. A Catholic university draws its primary inspiration from Jesus Christ as the source of wisdom, and from the conviction that in him, all things can be brought to their completion. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame wishes to contribute to this educational mission. The University of Notre Dame was founded in November 1842 by Edward F. Sorin, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, a French missionary order. It is located adjacent to South Bend, Indiana, the center of a metropolitan area with more than 300,000. Chartered by the state of Indiana in 1844, the University was governed by the Holy Cross priests until 1967, when governance was transferred to a two-tiered, composite board of lay and religious trustees and fellows. Notre Dame has grown from the vision of Father Sorin, who sought to establish a great Catholic university in America, and has remained faithful to both its religious and intellectual traditions. Over the years, Notre Dame has been a place where the Catholic Church could do its thinking. The first national study of Catholic elementary and secondary education was done at Notre Dame, the most extensive study of Catholic parish life and a landmark historical study of the Hispanic Catholic community in the United States. One of America's leading undergraduate teaching institutions, Notre Dame also has been at the forefront in research and scholarship. The aerodynamics of glider flight, the transmission of wireless messages, and the formulae for synthetic rubber were pioneered at the University. Today researchers are achieving breakthroughs in astrophysics, radiation chemistry, environmental sciences, tropical disease transmission, peace studies, cancer, robotics, and nanoelectronics. Notre Dame always has been heavily residential, with about four in five undergraduates living on campus. Students come to Notre Dame to learn how to think and how to live, and often the experiences alumni carry from residence hall communities at Notre Dame remain vivid over a lifetime. The University has always attracted scholars interested in teaching and scholarship. Men and women who know that a Notre Dame education is more than what is taught in classrooms and laboratories. Notre Dame has a unique spirit. It is traditional yet open to change. It is dedicated to religious belief no less than scientific knowledge. It has always stood for values in a world of facts. It has kept faith in Father Sorin's vision. View full university
- In choosing a secondary school for your daughter, we know that you will be looking for one where she will be happy, where she will be learning in a community with high expectations, and where she will receive the best education possible. We work extremely hard to ensure that this kind of environment exists. As a Catholic school, we exist primarily to assist our pupils in their faith journey and to help each pupil achieve their potential. We consider close co-operation with parents to be vital and hope that if your daughter does join us you will work in partnership with us and take advantage of any opportunity for contact and discussion with us. We aim to ensure that all aspects of school life reflect the school's distinctive Catholic ethos and that each girl is given equality of opportunity to achieve her full potential - spiritually, academically, and socially. As a Catholic School, the Curriculum at Notre Dame is inspired by the teachings of the Gospel, taking into account the requirements of the Department For Education, Local Authority, and the Catholic Diocese of Southwark. At Notre Dame, we endeavor to ensure that all pupils have access to the Curriculum. The work is planned to take into account progression and continuity. We are opposed to any form of discrimination on grounds of race, gender, ability, or disability. Religious Education is at the heart of our Curriculum. It is rooted in three aspects: teaching, worship, and moral values. At Notre Dame, we aim to motivate and challenge each pupil to reach their potential. Our work is be based on the National Curriculum, the Core, and the Foundation Subjects. In delivering the Curriculum, we realize that it is essential for each child to experience different methods of learning through the effective use of a range of printed and practical materials including the use of ICT. Some of these learning skills are addressed through a whole class approach / small groups, and individual work. Within the class, our children are grouped according to their abilities, with work differentiated to meet all pupils' talents, skills, and abilities. Children study all subjects in the National Curriculum. These include Mathematics, Literacy, Science, ICT (Information and technology skills), History, Geography, Art, Design Technology, Music, Physical Education, Religious Education and Personal, Social and Health Education combined with Citizenship. Wherever possible, children are encouraged to explore thematic links between curriculum areas. Every year Notre Dame is amongst the highest achieving schools in Southwark in the percentage of its students gaining 5+ A* - C grades in the GCSE exams and for Attainment and Progress 8. It is one of the leading schools in Central London. To enable students to achieve their full academic potential they are tested after they have been accepted for a place in the School and grouped into two broad bands of ability. In Year 7 they are taught in mixed ability groups within these bands and from Year 8 onwards they are placed within the bands into ability sets for each different subject. Pupils' learning in key stage 3 is just as important as their learning in key stage 4. Pupils are offered a choice of four different pathways. In some subjects, pupils start preparing for their GCSE exams in year 9. To provide a curriculum that enables all students to become successful learners who enjoy learning, make progress and achieve confident individuals who can live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives and responsible citizens who make a positive contribution to society. To provide a balanced and broadly based curriculum that promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental, and physical development of students at school and within society and prepares learners for the opportunities, responsibilities, and experiences of adult life.

The College maintains an ecumenical outlook and encourages all to seek God, put their faith in Him, and live by their belief. Athol Murray College of Notre Dame is committed to developing young men and women to become purposeful leaders with virtuous character. Athol Murray College of Notre Dame provides an exceptional educational and boarding experience with a balance of strong academic, athletic, and spiritual growth in a safe and caring prairie environment. Suppose one could picture Father Athol Murray walking down the main street of Wilcox, Saskatchewan. In that case, one can easily envision Pere approaching a young student in a gruff but warm, fatherly tone welcoming the new student to Notre Dame College. Father Murray left this earth in 1975, but the Notre Dame that he built together with the Sisters of Charity of St. Louis remains with us to this day as it has since its inception in 1920. Rooted in the Catholic tradition, but open to students of all faiths, Athol Murray College of Notre Dame puts a strong emphasis on delivering education and character formation based on the beliefs and principles of Christian Humanism. We have a balanced approach as we pay attention to the development of the mind, the body, and spirit within a community environment. The underlying beliefs that there is a God, that God has revealed Himself to us in the flesh and the Word and that God wishes to grace us or help us are fundamental to life at Notre Dame. "To Him who does what in Him lies God will not deny His Grace" –the great quote from St. Augustine of Hippo inspired Father Murray and is the driving inspiration that assists our students. Our students are challenged to achieve with character in all that they do. Father Murray's many letters, speeches, and lectures have left us with a beautiful little paradigm in regards to fulfilling this. The Notre Dame academic program is an integral part of the development of the complete Notre Dame Hound. Graduates from Notre Dame are regularly accepted at top universities in Canada, the United States and abroad. At Notre Dame, our academic strength lies in the philosophy that all students benefit from a positive learning environment. It is more than the delivery of the curriculum that is important. Our students excel in an environment that is supportive and demanding, challenging each student to strive for growth and understanding in all academic areas. A professional, highly educated, and highly motivated academic faculty provides students with a unique learning experience. Creating a positive classroom environment where students are challenged to think and speak for themselves contributes to the education of our students.

The first production, held at Christmas, features a classic Christmas story. The second production in the spring features a different story type each year. Auditions are open to all students. The Multi-Media Club offers opportunities for students to become involved in the digital world of photography, film, iMovie, yearbook, and Stevia (an immediate video analysis tool for coaches). Thousands of digital photographs fill Notre Dame's campus boards, webpage, yearbook, and iMovie productions and our family photo portal - Vidigami. Students digitally document every activity on campus and take great pride in being the 'memory keepers' of this generation of Hounds and their families. Through thousands of hours of volunteer work, our Multi-Media Club members can be seen with cameras in hand at the arena, on the field, and in the classroom. Multi-Media Club members earn a Saskatchewan Learning Special Projects credit combined with their academic credit total for graduation. Students need to complete the required skills and earn a percentage grade. The goal of the Outdoor Education program is to expose students to leadership based and team-building experience in the outdoors of western Canada. Students learn to plan, pack, and work together on various challenging trips in all four seasons. They learn basic survival, backpacking, canoeing, and meal planning, putting these skills to use in a real outdoor setting. At the end of the year, a five-day fly-in canoe trip on the Churchill River system completes the outdoor education experience. The Yearbook Club produces the year of memories for our Hounds in an outstanding publication. A professional, highly educated, and highly motivated academic faculty provides students with a unique learning experience. Faculty create a positive classroom environment where students are challenged to think and speak for themselves. An average class size of 16 students allows for healthy debate and individual attention. Faculty offer extra help daily during scheduled office hours.

- Notre Dame of Maryland University's education approach has prepared thousands of high performers and instigators of social change for more than a century. We are consistently responsive to the needs of a student body hungry to learn and a world hungry for knowledgeable, compassionate leaders. NDMU embodies the pioneering educational tradition and social justice mission that spurred the College of Notre Dame to welcome the first class of women pursuing a four-year baccalaureate degree in 1895. We offer Maryland's only women's college, as well as certificate, undergraduate, graduate, and Ph.D. programs for women and men. Our transformative educational model will help prepare you for leadership and success. We transform women and men into leaders who change the world. With more than 100 years' experience providing an innovative Catholic education grounded in mindfulness of the world around us, we promote intellectual and professional excellence in tandem with others' service. Notre Dame of Maryland University educates leaders to transform the world. Embracing the founders' vision, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, the University promotes the advancement of women and provides a liberal arts education in the Catholic tradition. We were the first Catholic college for women in America to offer the rigorous four-year education men already received. Our founders, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, brought their internationally renowned teaching skills to Baltimore in 1847. Since then, over 22,000 graduates have carried the Sisters' values of truth, integrity, and intellectual inquiry into the world. Though grounded in tradition, Notre Dame continues to respond to changes in education and society. While the Women's College still offers the benefits of focused, single-sex education, we meet the needs of adult women and men with career-focused undergraduate and graduate programs designed around their real-life schedules. Whether your passion is NASA or nursing, you will find a Notre Dame graduate at the top of the field. Our Women's College graduates excel in male-dominated sectors such as science and engineering. In our adult studies, men and women also serve in the military, improve educational policy, write books, start nonprofits, improve their communities, and, everywhere, lead. Institutional Effectiveness at NDMU is a process that results from University-wide efforts to collect, analyze, and use data for the planning, implementation, and assessment of strategic goals to reflect on its past and commit to its future. Our low faculty-to-student ratio means that our students work closely, often side-by-side, with their professors. The result is that they carry out significant research projects and publish their work, even as undergraduates. Notre Dame Maryland University provides a balanced, career-focused education in a thriving intellectual community. With nearly 80 programs and caring, expert faculty, we help women and men gain the knowledge they need to create real and meaningful change. Today's students celebrate many of the same traditions introduced generations ago. Every autumn, the campus community comes together as incoming students recite the Honor Pledge in the presence of family, friends, faculty members, and the administration. On Notre Dame Day, students are recognized for their commitment to service and academic achievement. One hundred nights before their graduation, Women's College seniors come together to reflect on their undergraduate experiences and anticipate commencement excitement. The School Sisters of Notre Dame remain at the heart of campus life as educators, administrators, colleagues, and mentors.

Achieve your educational goals at a price you can afford with the online programs of Notre Dame of Maryland University. Competitively priced tuition and financial aid resources can help you feel comfortable taking the next step in reaching your goals. The story of Notre Dame begins with a journey from Germany. In the summer of 1847, Mother Mary Theresa of Jesus Gerhardinger, foundress of the SSNDs, traveled to America with five sisters on a mission to educate those neglected by society — poor girls and women. Soon the SSNDs were teaching in four schools, including three in downtown Baltimore. By 1871 the sisters selected a beautiful 33-acre site in North Baltimore that would accommodate its burgeoning student populations and future expansion. In 1873, Notre Dame of Maryland Collegiate Institute, educating elementary and high school-aged girls, opened on Charles Street, where the present University is located today. As the turn of the century neared, the SSNDs had developed an international reputation for their teaching quality and rigor. For more than a century, Notre Dame's 22,000 alumnae and alumni have gone on to lead extraordinary lives of service and achievement. They have built buildings and families, made scientific discoveries, run for office and in marathons, become military leaders and SSNDs, served as CEOs and in soup kitchens. Their lives prove time and again the powerful legacy of the founding SSNDs, whose mission remains: Transforming the world through education. View full university

Our students are active outside of the classroom in more than 30 student organizations spanning academics, ethnic, sports, professional, social, and service groups. Student-athletes participate in 12 NCAA Division II sports, and students in visual and performing arts present a varied calendar of events throughout the year.

- Notre Dame High School, Belmont is an independent Catholic college preparatory school dedicated to the educational mission of St. Julie Billiart and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Notre Dame High School was established by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1851 and moved to the historic William Ralston Estate in 1923. The school is located on 10.6 acres in Belmont, California, a professional suburban community located midway between San Francisco and San Jose. We are a caring and compassionate community committed to promoting justice and peace while developing responsible young women of active faith, strong intellect, and Christian leadership. We develop the gifts and talents of each student and foster Gospel values in an environment of academic excellence and mutual respect. The school draws its student body principally from San Mateo County. Families of the school reflect middle to upper-middle-class economic backgrounds. Of the 440 students, 8.6% are international students. The student/teaching faculty ratio is 9.3:1, and the student/teaching faculty and professional staff ratio are 7.5:1. The average class size is 19.04. 92% of students from the class of 2016 enrolled in a 4-year college, while 8% went to community college. Our classes will challenge each young woman in a supportive environment that celebrates intellectual risk-taking, demands reflective learning, and pushes each student to become problem-solvers for the 21st century. Notre Dame High School is fully Accredited by the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges. Notre Dame High School, Belmont graduation requirements provide students with the necessary credits and variety of courses needed for admission to the University of California campuses, California State Universities, and private and out-of-state colleges and universities. Notre Dame High School requires that students must take a minimum of 60 credits per year for graduation. Notre Dame’s Counseling Department strives to create a climate of care that nurtures the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual development of each student. Counselors serve as advocates for students and assist them in becoming responsible, independent lifelong learners. We teach students to be accountable for their academic future. By adopting a cross-platform policy for student-provided laptops, parents have a wide range of purchase options to meet their family preferences and budgetary needs. Parents can choose between the Apple or Windows operating systems with prices for PC laptops beginning at approximately $329. All laptops need to meet the school's minimum system requirements. We only ask that students be equipped with laptops rather than Chromebooks or tablets. The reason for this is that while these devices have their own strengths and benefits, they do not allow students to download software. In addition, our campus printers do not support Chromebooks or mobile devices. Thus, laptops are the best all-around learning tool for our students. Our 1+1 technology program supports the Notre Dame de Namur Learning Community Hallmark Seven which states, "We develop holistic learning communities which educate for life" and reflects our fidelity to the directive of St. Julie Billiart, our Foundress, "Teach your students whatever is necessary to equip them for life." The Spiritual Life Program at Notre Dame High School strives to provide open, loving, and sacred moments where every student can explore who and where God is in her life. Informed by the teachings of the Catholic tradition and inspired by the charism of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, our goal is to help our students learn what they need to know for life – which includes opportunities to form and inform their heart, as well as their minds. We welcome all students – no matter what faith tradition. In a common search for the truth, we encourage dialogue in the hopes of listening for God’s goodness in the life experiences of all. In tandem with Notre Dame’s academic program, we provide students the opportunity to experience God’s goodness through communal prayer and liturgy, meaningful retreats, our community service program, and unique immersion experiences.
- Notre Dame educates today's young women for leadership, global citizenship, and socially responsible entrepreneurship. Our rich urban landscape and innovative programs cultivate young women with strong voices who will bring intelligent compassion to their world - young women who become active leaders in our local, national, and global communities. We are proud to have the distinction of being the oldest girls' high school in the western United States and to be a partner with the city of San Jose since 1851. Here is what we have experienced every day for more than three decades on our campus: Integrated learning across programs that combines the best of teacher instruction and student inquiry with hands-on, experiential engagement across courses and outside the classroom. A perfect example of this is the focus on women and children at the 9th-grade level where students will learn about women around the world in global studies, research a woman and the contribution of her life's work, develop a place setting to honor the woman studied and present it at a public art installation on campus, learn about social issues and concerns that affect women and children and engage in direct service that addresses those needs. The sophomores focus on themes centered around human responsibility, juniors on race and membership, and seniors on solidarity and advocacy. An urban school that embraces the city as a classroom: from field trips to museums and the MLK library, to direct service at the local public school and outreach agencies, school excursions to St. Joseph Basilica for liturgies, team practices at San Jose State University's pool and tennis courts, chassis building at The Tech Shop for robotics, Friday afternoon lunches at Iguanas, parallel parking on 3rd St, Notre Dame students live immersed in the city and their campus is a gateway to limitless learning. A mission-aligned faculty and staff who take seriously the 200-year old challenge of St. Julie Billiart, the foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, to "teach them what they need to know for life." A proud circle of alumnae who value their relationships with each other and their alma mater throughout their adult lives. They find each other in their professional circles. They stand by each other as neighbors, witnesses, godparents, and friends. Notre Dame High School, in the heart of downtown San Jose since 1851, provides young women an exemplary Catholic, college-preparatory education to become life-long learners, spiritual seekers, justice advocates, and community leaders. We are inspired by Saint Julie Billiart and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. We empower young women and “teach them what they need to know for life.” Studies have shown that students thrive in an all-girls environment. They are more confident, have higher career aspirations, and are better equipped to impact the world. Notre Dame’s all-girls environment encourages girls to take leadership positions in every aspect of the school. At Notre Dame, all the scholars are girls, all the artists are girls, all the varsity athletes are girls, all the editors and journalists are girls, and all the ASB and class officers are girls.

- Founded in 1873 by the School Sisters of Notre Dame, a teaching order from Germany, Notre Dame Preparatory School is one of Baltimore's oldest Catholic college preparatory schools for girls. The school's original mission, to foster academic excellence, spiritual growth, and social justice practice in its students, has inspired more than 6,000 living alumnae and continues to inspire the approximately 800 girls currently enrolled in grades 6-12. Notre Dame Preparatory School educates and empowers girls to become women who transform the world. As a Catholic, independent, college preparatory school for girls in grades 6 through 12, Notre Dame Prep inspires students to pursue academic excellence, spiritual growth, and the practice of justice. Infused with the spirit of the School Sisters of Notre Dame and rooted in the teachings of the Catholic Church, the NDP community strives to answer God's call "…to act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with God." We believe: We believe that health in mind, body, and spirit is witness to all persons' sacred dignity. We believe that education grounded in the Gospel fosters wisdom and spiritual growth. We believe that single-sex education develops confident women who are independent thinkers. We believe that a challenging and nurturing educational program best serves the needs of adolescents. We believe that tradition must be balanced by openness to change. We believe that demonstrating genuine personal integrity is at the foundation of the authentic self. We believe that the direct experience of leadership develops courage and fortitude. We believe that commitment to experiences beyond the classroom is a critical part of self-discovery. We believe that respecting the dignity of all people creates a welcoming, trusting, and compassionate community. We believe that intentional stewardship affirms the reality that we belong to a global community linked to all creation. We believe that our solidarity with the world calls us to serve marginalized persons. We believe that the courageous pursuit of systemic change, wherever needed, will transform the world. Collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking are central to Notre Dame's academic program. Our students challenge themselves and succeed in a rigorous and exciting study program led by an experienced, talented, and committed faculty. NDP's Middle Level serves adolescent girls who possess both the motivation and the ability to succeed in a rigorous academic curriculum while immersed in the school's spiritual and extracurricular life.

All classes are required for admission into the nation's leading colleges and universities. Each year, 100% of NDP seniors gain admission to the country's most competitive colleges and universities, are inducted into 11 honor societies, receive National Merit recognition, and attain high scores on both SAT and AP exams. In addition to their academic achievements, they win awards in drama, art, essay writing, and music, demonstrating that Notre Dame Preparatory School students are well-rounded as they are well prepared. Technology at Notre Dame Prep centers on the belief that sensible technology—that is, a technology that advances learning goals—can enhance teaching, motivate learning, and prepare students to meet the technological demands of higher education and the workplace. Faculty and students use technology to develop meaningful 21st-century skills, such as communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Throughout our campus-wide wireless environment, the integration of technology is woven into the NDP curriculum. Students receive a state-of-the-art education adaptable to whatever path their lives take after graduation.

At Notre Dame, our goal is to create a safe learning environment where students can become the best versions of themselves both academically and spiritually. We also offer world-ranked robotics teams, an exemplary athletic program, and a burgeoning performing and visual arts program. In short, we strive to create well-balanced students prepared for life. If you choose Notre Dame for your child's education, you are choosing a widely regarded school as one of the top Catholic schools in the nation. Notre Dame is the first Catholic school in the United States and the only Catholic school in Michigan to offer the prestigious International Baccalaureate Programme (IB) from junior kindergarten through 12th grade. Notre Dame is also a school that welcomes students of all backgrounds and faiths, as a diverse student body can create a much stronger sense of who we are as individuals and citizens of our world. When you choose Notre Dame, you are choosing to join a community of like-minded parents. Parents who believe that faith is an essential aspect of a child's development, and parents want their children's best. This helps to create a culture where it is "cool to be smart." While our academic reputation is second to none, parents must realize that your children do not have to be "all-A" students to fit in at Notre Dame. In addition to our honors, advanced placement (AP), and IB tracks, we offer a traditional academic track that also works well for many students. In March of 2017, we announced a 26,000 sq. ft. science arts and technology wing that will include eight classrooms, three science labs, two art studios, and a greenhouse. We believe that this investment into our students' academic experience will further cement Notre Dame as a leader among private, independent Catholic schools in the Midwest. Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy recognize that the principles of the Gospel and the Church's teaching are the educational norms upon which the Catholic school rests. We are to understand and witness the Christian Good News of humanity's redemption by the salvific work of Jesus Christ. The religious dimension of a young person's growth must be addressed in this Catholic Tradition context. Thus, Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy assume the responsibility of developing a Christian conscience through an understanding and appreciation of Catholic doctrine, traditions, and practices. Catholic education views the student as a person redeemed by Christ and having a supernatural destiny. Therefore, Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy strive to create an atmosphere where the student's faith can grow and provide means and opportunities for participation in faith experiences. "It is God's children that are entrusted to us, and so it is towards God that we have to return their hearts by our constant efforts to provide them with sound rules for their guidance and examples lived in a manner consonant with them… We shall therefore work in the first place at giving them sufficient knowledge of their faith, at stirring their wills to the accomplishment of duty through motives of conscience and the power of religion." Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy believe it is essential for students to understand the great gift and great responsibility we have as citizens of the United States. We believe that we are increasingly part of a global society. It is essential to growing in the knowledge of and concern for all people and all of God's creation. Because of these beliefs, opportunities are offered to help the student understand the responsibility of leadership in a democratic society, exercise the rights and liberties guaranteed by the Constitution, and respect all individuals' dignity regardless of race, creed, sex, national or ethnic origin. Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy honor parents' right to educate their children in the schools of their choice. "Notre Dame believes that teaching students to advocate for justice is essential to their development as Christian Persons, Upright Citizens, and Academic Scholars. We believe members of our community should work to eliminate prejudice and be a voice for those pushed to society's fringes on the local, national, and global levels. Therefore, Notre Dame challenges our community members to battle discrimination against any person or group, including, but not limited to, discrimination based on age, creed, gender, race, national or ethnic origin, socio-economic status, or religion."

- Notre Dame Academy has been a second home and an important part of my family history since the 1960s. The Sisters of Notre Dame raised us all with their charism and traditions. Central to that charism is the Sisters’ emphasis on the human dignity of each person as the image of God. That principle continues to inform our community as we value every student and challenge each to develop her gifts and broaden her worldview. It also provides the foundation for our interaction among the faculty, parents, and administrators. While our community has long been characterized as “nice,” this year we will challenge each other to above all, be kind. Kindness recognizes the right thing to do and acts on it. It is motivated not by what others think, but rather by selfless service. Instead of avoiding a tough conversation, kindness welcomes respectful, intelligent debate. Kindness never devolves into dismissive name-calling it listens, suggests, and might agree to disagree. It values the diversity of all types, yet understands that diversity of thought is most essential.
