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.
Upcoming Events
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 hope that last Friday was a memorable final day for our eighth graders. 💛💙
After leading Mass in the morning and then coordinating the games for NDA Day, Grade 8 took a little time for prayer and reflection with Dr. Jungels. Then, they walked our halls one last time and received a special blessing from parents, teachers and fellow NDA students.
We are so happy for them and we ask God to bless them as they move on to high school. Congratulations to our NDA class of 2026, we look forward to celebrating you at graduation! 🎓

Today was Prairie Day in Grade 3! Our young pioneers learned about life on the prairie and the hard work (chores) that came with it. They were excited to be outside this morning and try out a few old time games this afternoon. 🌾
“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.”
