College & Career Preparation
A Notre Dame education empowers today's young women for college degrees and careers in emerging fields and encourages them to develop personal skills for a whole and healthy life. Notre Dame prepares students for college and beyond through a program of personal support and access to opportunities, both key to helping students discern their life path. In preparation for college admissions, students at all grade levels take standardized tests and more than 80% of our juniors and seniors choose to take Advanced Placement exams. Beyond traditional testing, we prepare students through assessments that demonstrate skill and applied learning. On average, 60% of seniors choose a college or university in California and 40% matriculate to a school in another state or country. Within our innovative learning environment, tech integration and design thinking prompt students to be solution-finders and active citizens. By leveraging the extensive life and career knowledge of our community partners, parents and alumnae, we help each student discern her life path and empower her to explore possibilities for the future.
