Strong Foundation
The foundation of the Mount Notre Dame experience is the impressive academic program. With 20 Advanced Placement and 26 Honors courses, MND’s Honors/AP opportunities (including an AP course available to freshmen) are among the best in the region. MND’s Billiart Scholar Honors Program, for students scoring in the 90th percentile or higher on the High School Placement Test (HSPT), exposes students to not only the most challenging course of study and early exposure to college placement tests but also to a vast array of career exploration opportunities.
Shaping the Next Generation of Leaders
MND’s engineering courses prepare the scientifically-talented young women of today for a career in this highly competitive field. MND also boasts strong programs in the humanities that offer leadership opportunities and a greater awareness of the inter-connectedness of our global society. MND is also deeply committed to the role of women in philanthropy. Its student-run Youth Philanthropy Council is a mini-foundation that has made an impact regionally, nationally and internationally.
Family Spirit is Alive!
MND’s family spirit sets it apart. Walking through the halls, it is evident that Mount Notre Dame’s students support, encourage and challenge each other. This environment produces young women who think critically to solve problems, work cooperatively in group settings, delight in each other’s successes and push one another to maximize their God-given gifts.
State Championship Athletic Teams & Leadership Building Extra-Curriculars
To top it all off, MND’s athletic program not only consistently brings home state championships but also produces players sought after by the most competitive colleges. Georgetown, Northwestern and Vanderbilt are just a few of the universities that have MND Cougars wearing their colors. In addition, MND meets various student interests through nearly 50 clubs, giving students the opportunity to emerge as leaders.
