CULTURE
We desire that our students lead lives that reflect the example of Jesus Christ; accepting, loving and inclusive.
THE HOUSE SYSTEM
In this technological world teens are more isolated than ever before. To remedy this, our student body is grouped into 10 Houses. These Houses build community, mentorship, discipleship and opportunities for growth and leadership. Guided by Caitlin Melnychenko and Mark Granger, Co-Directors of the House System, students develop leadership skills and become the best versions of themselves while living authentic lives that are true to the teachings of Jesus Christ. The purpose of the House System is to ensure every student and adult on our campus has a community who cares and holds them accountable to be who God created them to be. 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 as a true disciple. At Notre Dame Prep, we seek to educate the whole student; mind, body and soul. The House System allows students to be recognized for more than GPA or athletic achievement. Within their House, students’ talents are explored and nurtured by a built-in support system. Each House consists of four smaller groups called Families. Our students will have a chance to check in with their Families for a few minutes each day for authentic interpersonal interaction and fellowship. The Houses compete for the coveted House Cup each year by earning House Points through academics, Christian service and school spirit, while showing Reverence, Respect and Responsibility toward each other.
