School Mission Statement

Notre Dame School of Manhattan offers a Catholic education for young women in the tradition of Anne de Xainctonge.

At Notre Dame in the 21st century, the school’s small, nurturing environment encourages each student to be open to personal and intellectual growth.

A challenging curriculum prepares talented young women for college and for lives of leadership and service.
