Welcome To Notre Dame Preparatory On behalf of the entire NDP Saints community, we invite future high school students and their families to investigate the unique opportunity of attending Notre Dame Preparatory. Since 2002, our inaugural year, NDP has been strengthening minds, bodies and souls by integrating a faith-based, college prep curriculum with vibrant, thriving co-curricular activities.

With an overall population of 1010, and an average of 21 students per class, Notre Dame Prep offers the perfect combination of “small school” connections to faculty, counselors, and administration, with “big school” co-curricular opportunities on the court, field, stage, studio, and beyond.

All prospective Saints families are encouraged to come experience the NDP community through private tours, or at events such as Shadowing Days, AIE, Open House, and 8th Grade Day. Please visit ndpsaints.org/admissions to register for an on campus visit and begin your application.

Catholic education at Notre Dame Prep is available to students from all walks of life and economic backgrounds. Our finance team can help families navigate ESA (Empowerment Scholarship Accounts) and tax credit opportunities to make NDP affordable for all!

Each year, Notre Dame Prep sends reverent, respectful and responsible young men and women into the world. Our alumni are successful in professions across the spectrum, from medicine and law to professional sports and Broadway. We are proud of their extraordinary accomplishments, but the true measure of their achievements is through their faith, families and commitment to lifelong service. Your high school journey starts here.

Come and Discover the Saint in YOU!

Faith

6

Faith is an integral part of life at Notre Dame Prep. We fully trust in the tenets and mission of the Catholic Church to allow students to be disciples of God, so that they might go forth and improve the world.

Parents are the primary religious educators and nurturers of their children’s spirituality and we partner with parents by offering a vibrant faith life on campus.

8 Houses, One Community of Saints

8

The House System at Notre Dame Prep sets us apart from most high schools in the Valley. Our student body is divided into 8 Houses. They build community, mentorship and opportunities for growth and leadership. But mostly, they provide a place where each student, faculty and staff member has a place to belong.

The goal is to find and foster the brilliance in each student and to give each soul on campus a place where they are embraced by their fellow House members while building a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and a desire to live in true discipleship.

Being a member of a House gives our students time throughout the day for real interpersonal interaction with students from all grades and members of our faculty and staff. The House System allows students to be recognized for more than just GPA or athletic achievement, but for their human kindness.

Our Houses are named for great Saints throughout the ages, with the name, each House represents a key virtue of their Saint – fortitude, selflessness, sacrifice, integrity, strength, tenacity, humility, charity, courage, and loyalty.

Th e Ho u s e s co m p e t e fo r Ho u s e points through academics, Christian service, school spirit, and enthusiastic competitions, while demonstrating Reverence, Respect and Responsibility toward each other. The House that earns the most points receives the coveted House of the Year Award!

Christian Service

10

Notre Dame Preparatory is unwavering in its commitment to the mission of the Catholic C h u rc h . We e d u c a t e o u r students to understand their place in this world as servant leaders, especially to serve those who are less fortunate and marginalized. As part of our graduation requirements, students are expected to complete a minimum of 120 hours of Christian service with many going above and beyond. In fact, during the 2023-24 school year, students logged more than 30,000 Christian service hours.

Globally, our students organize f u n d r a i s e r s fo r h u r r i c a n e victims and supply drives for underserved schools. They travel on mission trips around the world to help those in need.

School-wide service events include campus beautification projects and assisting with school fundraisers and community building events. Notre Dame Prep was recognized as a Global Level Platinum High School by Catholic Relief Services for its dedication to advancing Catholic social teachings and compassion for the poor worldwide.

The Notre Dame Preparatory athletic programs are an integral part of the fabric of our community with more than 80% of students participating in AIA or club sports. We compete locally, regionally and nationally in 30 interscholastic sports and activities. We are proud of our athletic tradition and success, winning 71 state championships – most recently in girls soccer, girls tennis singles and doubles, pom, and beach volleyball.

We are committed to providing young men and women with dynamic opportunities for personal growth and formation through athletics that will impact each of them for a lifetime.

With our history of success, we moved all our athletic teams up to the AIA 5A Conference (even though NDP’s enrollment is that of a 3A school). We challenge our teams and individual athletes to compete against schools much larger in size - but not in heart.

In NDP’s first year competing at the 5A level, our boys golf team finished the season as the 5A state runner-up, both boys and girls basketball teams qualified for AIA open championship playoffs, and both football and girls volleyball were 5A state semifinalists.

We offer four club sports: hockey, boys and girls lacrosse, figure skating and mountain biking. Our D1 hockey team has a legacy of being one of the top teams every year. In 2023-24 they finished as the state runner-up for the second straight year.

Arts

14

The Fine Arts Department at NDP seeks to maximize the creative potential in each student. NDP students are encouraged to explore the arts. Art students enhance their individual creativity while collaborating with and supporting each other.

Through NDP’s many arts programs, students find their niche while discovering hidden talents. We offer many classes including choir, guitar o rc h e s t r a , j a z z e n s e m b l e , drawing, painting. ceramics, photography, acting, dance and digital video production.

We are the leading high school in digital video production, thanks to our student’s impressive work with NDP Live!. Our teams both behind and in front of the camera have won many awards.

Each semester we sponsor a Fine Arts Festival held on campus in the St. Catherine of Bolognia Performing Arts Center with artwork produced by our talented artists and entertainment provided by our performing arts students.

In keeping with the Catholic tradition of forming humble servants, our performing and visual arts students find opportunities each year to share their talents with those in need.

To help students discern a career, we have outlined courses that align with a number of career pathways. These are not “locked-in” paths, rather oportunities for students to gain real experience and foundational skills to aid them in their careers. We encourage all students to consider these pathways during their course selection process.

Always Expanding, Forever Growing

24

Notre Dame Preparatory, a Diocesan Catholic High School, was founded in 2002 by a group of committed citizens who wanted to bring a Catholic high school to Scottsdale. With the help of the Diocese of Phoenix, NDP was able to secure a bond to purchase a private elementary school campus.

This campus has grown to encompass a gymnasium, chapel, two-story classroom building and stadium complex.

Most recently, NDP opened the St. Catherine of Bologna Performing Arts Center (PAC).

The PAC is named after St. Catherine of Bologna, the Patron Saint of the Arts.

The 20,000-square foot building houses NDP’s instrumental musical education classrooms, and choir, dance, drama and digital video studios. We have also added classes in stagecraft and set design.

As we consider the ever-changing landscape of education, it is important for us to think forward to advance our Catholic mission by preparing our students for life beyond NDP. Part of that process includes investing in the facilities that support our Catholic calling and modern-day learning.

As soon as the funds are secured, NDP anticipates moving quickly to address other needs. Some of those priorities include the completion of the stadium complex, STEM classrooms, and an auxiliary gym, among other projects.
