NDP MISSION STATEMENT
Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy provides its diverse student body a Catholic and internationally recognized college-preparatory experience of lasting value. We affirm our Marist mission to “Work with God to form Christian People, Upright Citizens and Academic Scholars."
ARTS PHILOSOPHY
At Notre Dame Preparatory School, Arts Education is accessible to all students through courses that encompass creating, performing, analyzing, and connecting. The 21st century calls our students to develop their observational and critical thinking skills while nurturing visual literacy skills and personal voice. The universal language of the arts allows students to express their original thoughts and communicate ideas through music, visual art, and drama. It is through the arts that students develop a self-awareness and ability to creatively solve problems while understanding the importance of global perspective and international mindedness. Arts Education at Notre Dame supports the mission of our school to develop Christian people, upright citizens and academic scholars.
