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 studentβs needs.

Before school ended for the summer, Mr. Tesch hosted an extra fun gym session for all of the students that completed Finn's Mission. Look how many participated! β€οΈ
Finn's Mission was our way of supporting The American Heart Association, while teaching kids life-saving CPR skills, in case they ever find themselves in a life-saving emergency. They also learned how to take care of themselves by eating healthy and exercising. Great job Lions!ππ₯
Kindergarten is just around the corner for our PK graduates! π
We asked them what they are most excited about for next year. Check out a few of their answers! πππ
We celebrated our Kinderstart and High-Five graduates as we wrapped up another wonderful school year! π
Families gathered for a special graduation ceremony at church before enjoying a fun picnic together. We are so proud of these young learners and all they have accomplished this year and we can't wait for them to begin Kindergarten. ππ

βBoth 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.β
