Coed Enrichment
A vibrant ecosystem for learning beyond the classroom
Launched in 2012, CORE Arts (Creative, Original, Real Expression in the Arts) is our premier after-school initiative, connecting students with master teachers and local professionals in a supportive space where every student can develop a unique voice.
Our enrichment programs pair academic rigor with the freedom to explore personal passions, preparing students to lead with integrity, creativity, and confidence. This philosophy allows NDA students to enter high school with confidence, independence, and the executive functioning skills that drive long-term success.

Choral Program and Performance
At Notre Dame Academy, we believe every student can sing. The Knights Chorus (grades 3–8) welcomes all skill levels and gives students a powerful platform to find their voice and perform with purpose.
Throughout the year, singers perform at Christmas and Spring concerts, school Masses, festivals, and workshops. They also share their talents through community outreach and caroling, both on campus and across the local area.
Innovation and Specialized Learning
As the Catholic school of the future, we leverage purpose-built spaces to deepen student learning.
Our Innovation Lab challenges students to think critically and tackle real-world problems, while outdoor learning areas and working gardens transform our campus into a living classroom.
Electives and Specialty Classes
Our Middle School Electives program empowers students to shape their education around their interests, fostering autonomy and leadership.
Younger students build a well-rounded foundation through specialty classes in art, music, Spanish, and physical education.
