Welcome to Notre Dame Academy!
At Notre Dame Academy, driven by our core values of community, respect, and academic excellence, we are committed to making an NDA education accessible to a diverse community of families. To support our families, NDA offers financial assistance pathways to both our coed and all girls families:
Tuition Assistance Grants (TAG) are available for coed school families needing supplemental financial support to bridge the gap in tuition costs.
Tuition Adjustments (TA) are designed for all-girls school families using a flexible model, enabling families to partner with NDA in investing in their daughter's future.
How to Apply
Families requesting TAG or TA complete a secure financial assistance application through the FACTS Financial Management system. FACTS maintains a completely confidential process, evaluating family income and expenses to recommend an appropriate level of assistance. Following this recommendation, the NDA Financial Assistance Committee conducts a thorough review of each application file.
