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.

A prayer at the start of the day. A thoughtful question in class. An invitation to include someone. The choice to apologize and begin again.
These everyday moments help children connect faith with life.
At Notre Dame Academy, Catholic education invites students to consider how Christ’s example can guide their learning, relationships, and choices. That connection grows through practice, encouragement, and the care of a school community.
On November 18, your gift helps sustain this education and keep it within reach for more families.
Help more students experience what it means to grow Anchored in Christ.

Students enjoyed Mrs. Marsh's ice cream sundae bar this week, which was full of an array of yummy toppings! It was such a great treat, but what was really special was the time it gave us to enjoy time together.
Thanks for the marathon memory, Mrs. Marsh!

“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.”
