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.

Happy Valentine's Day! ❤
We spent yesterday celebrating with each other wearing shades of red and pink! We hope you feel the love we have for everyone in our school community. We wish you well on this Valentine's Day.
Yesterday afternoon, middle school students enjoyed a team competition as they continue to complete for the team cup. Groups had to build a box tower that was much taller than a middle schooler! Ms. Maurer's advisory walked away with the first place points. Nice job Lions!
Loving God,
Thank You for the people in our lives who care for us.
On this Valentine’s Day, fill our hearts with Your love.
Help us be kind in what we say and do, include others, and forgive quickly.
Make us a blessing to everyone we meet today.
Amen.
Happy Valentine's Day from NDA! 💞

“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.”
