About the School
Notre Dame High School, a ministry of the Diocese of Trenton, is a dynamic, diverse Catholic community dedicated to educating young women and men to realize their full potential through a faith-filled environment, a challenging college-preparatory program, extensive co-curricular activities, and a commitment to citizenship and service in the community.
At Notre Dame High School, each student is known, and the results of student progress are carefully monitored. The school maintains restrictions on class size and overall teacher-student ratio to ensure individual attention. Notre Dame employs a modified block scheduling model, with the school year mirroring academic years at college—classes run by semester rather than by whole year.
