Toddlers through Grade 8
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.

We reached our $50,000 marathon goal — which means Fr. John is sleeping on the school roof!
Sunday, October 18 – Monday, October 19
Join us at 7:00 PM Sunday!
Fr. John will lead a Rosary live from the roof (at 7:00pm), praying for our students, faculty and staff, school families, and all the intentions of our NDA community.
And yes, Fr. John really will be sleeping up there! Around 3:00 AM, he’ll livestream the Office of Readings as a little proof that he made it through the night. Please don’t set your alarm — you can check the evidence in the morning! 😊
@Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Kindergarten and Grade 8 enjoyed a fantastic day at the Minnesota Zoo last week! We are super grateful to our chaperones and teachers that made this special field trip possible. These moments are super special for these milestone grade levels. 🥹
We gathered as a school last Wednesday to celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary. While live-streaming with the Archdiocese, we prayed our first rosary of the school year together. It was a meaningful moment.
We pray that our families have a safe and meaningful MEA week.
“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.”
