A Unique Family The community here at Notre Dame Fairfield stands out from its peers.

Notre Dame is proud to say that we have a unique “family” environment here: mutual respect between students, faculty and administration is clearly evident. Notre Dame fosters an environment that enables a student to flourish academically, spiritually and socially.

During the time since my arrival here, I’ve observed that our students have become more globally aware and more technologically advanced. They also have greater expectations from their educators. Our teachers have proactively kept pace with advances in education and technology, and exceed these expectations . . . every single day.

I personally welcome you to learn more about the Notre Dame experience, and our mission “to be imitators of Christ”—the best teacher the world has ever known.

— CHRISTOPHER CIPRIANO, PRINCIPAL

THE BIG

Picture

Our Mission The mission of Notre Dame High School is to help young men and women grow in character, faith, and intellect. We encourage each student to develop a thirst for knowledge and truth, and we instill in our students the determination to strive for excellence in every endeavor.

In a challenging and collaborative learning environment, we provide students with the academic foundation, confidence, and discipline needed to excel, both in college and in life. As a

caring, diverse community grounded in Catholic teaching, we challenge all students to reach their God-given potential, to take their place in our society, and to do service for the

good of others. Through hard work, faith in God, and faith in one’s self, we believe every student can achieve excellence.

Strong character is the cornerstone of our vibrant school community. It’s what drives us to excel in academics, on the sports field, on the stage, and in service to others. Excellence and ethics are intertwined in everything we do.

We guide each student toward a deeper understanding of their faith and help them realize their full intellectual, moral and spiritual potential—to lead successful, meaningful lives in today’s ever-changing world.

It’s about fostering creativity and innovation, and building core knowledge and critical skills for 21st century success.

We strive to provide dynamic learning experiences inside and outside the classroom, and encourage students to ask questions, seek answers, communicate, collaborate and solve complex problems.

We inspire students to be self-motivated, lifelong learners by engaging their intellect and sparking their imaginations. The result? Our graduates go on to many of the top colleges in the nation—equipped with the academic skills and character traits they’ll need to become tomorrow’s leaders.

Our Curriculum Our teachers embrace technology and take a dynamic, innovative approach in integrating technology into instruction and classroom learning. All students have access to state-of-the-art technology on campus and from home.

Notre Dame’s academic program is based on a traditional liberal arts curriculum. We believe that education should be more than the acquisition of facts—and that the primary focus should be on training the intellect as fully as possible. To that end, we adhere to rigorous and wellrounded academic requirements.

Our curriculum is designed to develop each student’s ability to write well, think logically and make informed decisions. Following our school mission, dedicated teachers challenge students to work to their God-given potential. Curriculum, instruction, assessment, and appropriate academic interventions are aligned with these high standards to support our students.

Over four years our students gain a strong foundation in the humanities and sciences and develop an appreciation for the aesthetic, moral and religious dimensions of life.

“ When I talk about my children’s high school education, I refer to it as “The Notre Dame Miracle.” It is amazing how they have grown to become thinking, intelligent and most importantly, good young people. I think much of that has to do with Notre Dame.”

—ANNE MALVICINI, PARENT

How long have you taught at Notre Dame Fairfield and what courses do you teach?

I have taught at Notre Dame for 12 years and currently teach Latin 1 and Advanced Placement Humanities and serve as the Director of the Distinguished Scholars Program.

What experiences do you bring to the classroom?

Simply put, I bring a lifelong passion for language and students. The daily give-and-take in class—questioning, pondering, fathoming, plumbing depths and risking opinions—is truly a sacred routine, and one in which I have been immersed for more than three decades. I cherish the depth and diversity of a solid grounding in the humanities and a cross-cultural worldview. I hope to encourage students in their fluency and precision with words of the mind and words of the heart.

How would you describe your role as a member of the faculty?

My colleagues bring expertise and enthusiasm to each day; they are wise in the ways of the world and warm in their personal approach to everyone—co-workers,

students, staff, fellow human beings both near and far. I am particularly struck by the faculty’s generosity of time and talent and the depth of their genuine love of their subjects and students.

What advice would you give to parents of prospective students at Notre Dame?

Visit us and speak with administrators, faculty, students, alumni and current parents. Root with us at a weekend game and see the Lancers in action . . . talk with the students who volunteer in Appalachia and Nicaragua . . . eavesdrop on the Drama Club . . . walk through the halls and classrooms and savor the ND atmosphere.

Is there anything about the Notre Dame Fairfield community that you think parents should know?

I would want everyone to know that Notre Dame is a vibrant learning community. Our 50-year plus tradition of excellence is a living, breathing heritage that points us to the future by engaging us fully in the present. We are alive and well, building and dreaming, and we know each other’s names. www.notredame.org | 11

Our Catholic Identity Notre Dame’s Catholic identity is integral to the heart and soul of the school—helping students to form faith-filled lives and motivating a genuine desire to serve others. Daily religion classes allow students to incorporate and share their personal faith experiences, make connections to the world around them, and ask important questions.

In partnership with parents, Notre Dame fosters a remarkable community of faith and character, with a shared commitment to academic excellence and the development of virtues—like responsibility, self-discipline, honesty, diligence and courage; respect, humility, kindness, and compassion. In other words, we work our hardest to help our students to be good students—and good people.

As a rich, multicultural faith community, we welcome students of different faith traditions and draw great strength from this diversity. Though hard work,

camaraderie, and service to others, our students find faith in God, faith in friendship, and faith in themselves.

PUTTING FAITH INTO ACTION Our active Campus Ministry is a vital part of our learning community and provides many opportunities for students to grow and share their faith—and to put their faith into action. Along with fun fellowship experiences including field trips and social gatherings, the Ministry organizes lectures, group service projects, and both national and international missions.

Our Vibrant Community There’s something for everyone at Notre Dame—and the Lancer spirit will be part of you before you know it.

Most students feel it during their very first visit to Notre Dame. There’s something special here, the sense of shared purpose and community that’s at the heart of the Notre Dame experience. A place where you feel at home, part of a caring community that in so many amazing ways is like your extended family.

Students are here to learn and to grow, but that’s not limited to what happens in the classroom. There’s a vibrant student life at Notre Dame, with something for everyone. Our many student clubs and organizations make it easy to be part of the Notre Dame community, make lifelong friends, and take on leadership opportunities.

The Arts AT NOTRE DAME, WE SUPPORT THE ARTS! Students may elect to take Art, Band, Chorus, Music Appreciation, Music Theory, and Dance as part of their daily schedule. This adds a rich dimension to their education and is a wonderful creative outlet for all to enjoy. Each December, our annual

Art Show highlights the artistic accomplishments of students in a variety of areas: visual, musical and performing arts.

Students may also participate in the annual spring musical, a popular tradition at Notre Dame Fairfield.

Recent productions include Grease, Annie, The Wiz, Les Misérables and

Beauty and the Beast. Performances are staged at the Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts at Sacred Heart University, a 776-seat auditorium, home to Connecticut’s only year-round professional theatre company solely dedicated to families.

Leadership Opportunities GETTING INVOLVED IS A WONDERFUL WAY TO MEET PEOPLE AND TRY NEW THINGS. It’s also a great way to help develop leadership skills. At Notre Dame, you may get involved in activities you can’t even imagine now . . . and take a leadership role where you thought you couldn’t.

Clubs & Organizations TIME FOR FUN At Notre Dame, you’ll have many opportunities to learn and grow. As challenging and rewarding as you’ll find your academic pursuits, you will still have time for fun and expanding your horizons. You can take part in the spring musical, contribute to the newspaper, literary magazine or yearbook, or simply enjoy a Friday night dance. The activities program gives every student a chance to participate.

What you learn outside of the classroom can often be as meaningful and significant as what you learn inside. Notre Dame offers many clubs, organizations and athletic teams to assist all students in developing their own personal interests. Some groups have academic affiliation, while others focus on special interests, community service or cultural diversity.

College Planning Nearly 100% of Notre Dame Fairfield graduates go on to college or university study.

Last year, graduating seniors were offered nearly $17 million in scholarships, grants and financial aid from colleges and universities across the country.

The Guidance Office works closely with each student to ensure each student experiences success at Notre Dame Fairfield. The planning process begins early— during sophomore year—when students begin career testing and exploration. Guidance counselors meet with students in small groups to identify personal skills, interests and abilities.

Beginning junior year, parents and students are invited to private college planning sessions with counselors to map

out their individual college selection and application process. In addition, at special evening programs for parents, college representatives and Notre Dame Fairfield counselors discuss planning for and financing a college education.

The Guidance Office hosts over 60 colleges and universities each fall to meet with students. It actively maintains an extensive college resource center with a library of college catalogs and also uses the nationally known Naviance program—a comprehensive web-based program that’s invaluable in helping students with the college admission process.

“ Notre Dame instills an appreciation for knowledge and the importance of academic rigor. I’ve come to learn about the indispensable value of opportunity, service to God and service to others.”
