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.

These behind the scenes play photos don’t capture all of our wonderful volunteers, but we are so thankful for each and every one of them. Their time, energy, and dedication made it all possible, and we are so grateful. It was a wonderful weekend celebrating our middle schoolers up on stage!
Our lower hallway is full of marble mazes thanks to our third and fourth graders.
Students were asked to design and build a maze that challenges a marble to travel through it in a specific amount of time, and then make adjustments from there. It was a great exercise in trial and error!
What better way to learn the Order of Operations than by operating?! Fifth-graders used their mathematical knowledge to help choose the correct surgical tools to help injured people, such as Taylor Swift and Michael Jordan. Fortunately, everyone pulled through! 😉
“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.”
