In every life, there is a life-changing moment of discovery. It may be the sudden rush of confidence when you master something difficult. It may be the excitement at finding a talent you never knew you had. It may come from a passage in a book or something a teacher says that carries with you. Attending Notre Dame is also a turning point.
Notre Dame is a private Roman Catholic school that provides an education to the youth of today, grades PreK-12. Set in the heart of Portsmouth, Ohio, our safe, nurturing environment combines structure with self-reliance, and discipline with discovery. Challenging academics, small class sizes, attentive staff, and a close-knit community are ideal for students.
Since 1852, we have served students of all races, religions, and levels of academic ability. Through a highly structured curriculum that focuses on accountability and self-discipline, we create for students the ideal conditions in which to succeed.
Notre Dame’s mission is to provide all students with a Catholic environment and the resources to develop in stewardship, scholarship, and citizenship according to God’s plan. Students are challenged to produce quality work, to provide service to others, and become a lifelong learner.
Our simple beliefs produce one dramatic result. A turning point in your child’s life, and possibly in yours.
