My freshman year was better than I could have ever imagined it! Going to an all girls school may seem like a center for drama, but the community built there is wonderful. Everyone at the school is so nice and cares about you. The teachers are wonderful and are skilled at what they do. I definitely feel that I am getting the very best education that I could have here at ND. The classes aren’t too big, so you are really able to get a one on one experience within your classes. School spirit is big at ND, but also super fun. Spirit week at ND was amazing and made me feel proud to be a Regent at ND. I am so happy I chose to go to this school and grateful for all of the opportunities ND has provided me to become a woman of impact and a strong leader in my community.
The young women at NDSJ are well-prepared for college academics and equally well-prepared for public speaking, community outreach, and succeeding past high school. Our daughter's experience was welcoming, supportive, and intellectually challenging at a time when young women can be surrounded by pettiness and being ignored. She learned in a diverse and compassionate community. Attending Notre Dame was one of the best choices she's made and we are thrilled with the outcome! Ora et Labora! Kudos to Notre Dame!
Coming from a large, public middle school, I really appreciated the tight-knit, encouraging community at ND. I wouldn't say that everyone knew each other, but it wasn't hard to find friends at break. Another great part about ND for me was that there were so many class-wide and school-wide events that eased me into high school and quickly made me feel at home. Overall, there was just a lot of school spirit (our spirit week is intense). Although classes could sometimes be challenging, every teacher was always willing to help and usually easy to reach out to. Besides that, there were lots of resources and plenty of leadership positions and extracurriculars to get involved in; I was definitely able to find my passion and create an impact (the school's main mission) outside of school. If there's one thing I would change, I would make the school bigger and have more field trips downtown (my class probably lost some of the focus on experiential learning in the city because of COVID, though).
