Notre
Dame Preparatory is rooted in the beliefs
of the Catholic Church. Many opportunities
exist for spiritual growth and are available
to students, parents, faculty and staff. Working
with parents, parishes and other church communities,
we will challenge the school community to
grow closer to Christ.
Consistent with our Gospel values,
Notre Dame is committed to the education of
the
whole person. Our purpose is to provide a
learning environment that challenges students
to grow in their intellectual, personal, ethical,
spiritual and social responsibilities as a
means to prepare them for entrance into college.
Notre Dame helps students recognize
and realize their potential by responding
to the gifts God has given them; affords opportunities
to examine life in a Christian atmosphere;
and encourages students to assume leadership
within the community by sharing their gifts
with the less fortunate.
By serving young men and women
in the Catholic tradition, Notre Dame is committed
to learning as a lifelong process. In order
to institute that process, Notre Dame hopes
to instill confidence, optimism, and compassion
in students so that they may help change the
world.

“Adoration is the first attitude of man acknowledging that he is a creature before his Creator. It exalts the greatness of the Lord who made us99 and the almighty power of the Savior who sets us free from evil. Adoration is homage of the spirit to the "King of Glory,"100 respectful silence in the presence of the "ever greater" God.101 Adoration of the thrice-holy and sovereign God of love blends with humility and gives assurance to our supplications.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 2628.)
