Notre Dame High School in Downtown San Jose ND Reads For 14 years, Notre Dame has selected a book that reinforces the concepts in the Education for Justice & Leadership Initiative to be read by the entire learning community. Both curricular and co-curricular programs integrate the ND Reads book into the year’s activities. The program also includes an author talk for the students and extended community. Learn more: www.ndsj.org/ndreads

Pathways In addition to a general course of college-preparatory study, students can specialize through Academic Pathways that provide particular focus for college majors and careers. Interested students work with their personal counselor to identify courses and map out a graduation plan. In addition, Notre Dame offers an opportunity to earn diplomas with emphasis in core areas of interest. Upon completion of designated courses and related co-curricular activities, students may receive an endorsed diploma at graduation in one of three areas: STEAM, Social Justice or VAPA. View our course catalog for more information and descriptions of all classes: www.ndsj.org/course-catalog

Women of Impact Notre Dame commits to developing women leaders. For each student, the journey begins in her freshman year with the Woman’s Place Project through which all students study and honor women of impact. This freshman milestone is bookended with the Senior Service Learning Project through which each senior implements a service project to support her local or global community. This experience culminates at the Young Woman’s Advocacy Summit, where each student advocates on behalf of the social justice issue she addressed in her capstone project.

Accessing Campus Our urban landscape provides easy access for families, whether they drive, carpool, walk or use public transportation. Notre Dame also offers a shuttle from the Diridon Station in the morning and afternoon.

Mission Statement Notre Dame High School, in the heart of downtown San Jose since 1851, provides young women an exemplary Catholic, collegepreparatory education to become life-long learners, spiritual seekers, justice advocates and community leaders. We are inspired by Saint Julie Billiart and the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. We empower young women and “teach them what they need to know for life.”
