Having faith in all children, Notre Dame Academy is a welcoming, regional Catholic school in Minnetonka, MN offering preschool through eighth grade. Our students receive an education that is taught with kindness, inclusiveness, and a commitment to the whole child. Each student has the opportunity to learn, grow and work toward their unique potential.
Academic Excellence in a Faith-Centered Community
The Notre Dame Academy Preschool Program offers flexible, year-round school for children ages two to five. Our dedicated teachers share a love of early learning and strive for excellence in Catholic education.
Our teachers provide academic rigor and strong education outcomes by developing the minds, hearts, and souls of our children in a faith-centered environment and a nurturing community.
Ensuring our families have access to valuable news, forms, and other online resources is very important to us.

Curriculum
Notre Dame Academy prides itself on providing a challenging, yet fun curriculum for all grade levels. We know that students learn the best when they are engaged, curious, and hands-on. We use several different types of curriculums across the core subjects as well as Spanish and various forms of fine arts opportunities. Our students leave Notre Dame Academy prepared to tackle college prep courses no matter what high school they choose to attend. We believe in developing well rounded students within a strong community that offers a comprehensive curriculum with differentiation available to meet each student’s needs.

Fr. John is delighted to report that the handcrafted skin-on-frame canoe built by Notre Dame Academy's middle school students has been officially registered with the State of Minnesota and successfully launched on Shady Oak Lake. 🛶
The canoe floats beautifully, paddles wonderfully, and is a testament to the remarkable craftsmanship, dedication, and talent of our students.
Special thanks to the generous board members who purchased the canoe at this year's Grand Beginnings Gala and gifted it to Fr. John. What an extraordinary gift and a wonderful example of the creativity and hands-on learning that make Notre Dame Academy so special!

Our Girls On The Run Club ran at the State Fairgrounds in St. Paul this past Saturday morning. They trained for this final run throughout the season and had a beautiful and rewarding morning to end this year's season. Enjoy these before and after photos. 👟
The final photo was from their Friday night pasta dinner (carb loading!) and bread making session. It's so fun to see the bond between all these gals and their amazing adults. Thanks to all who made this spring sport at NDA possible. 💛💙🦁
Check out this year's NDA talent! We were entertained by so many amazing acts. Our talent show is a great opportunity for kids to be brave and get up on stage in front of a pretty large audience. Great job Lions, we are so very proud of you! 🦁
“Both of my girls have attended this school since preschool. If you ever have the opportunity to support Catholic Schools for your children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, I highly recommend it. This has been the best opportunity for their self esteem, faith, community and personal well being.”
