Leadership Development
Each student has the opportunity to develop her leadership skills within the co-curricular program of her choice. Students develop voice and experience in our empowering environment.
More Than 170 Years of Tradition
In the midst of a rapidly changing world, Notre Dame's spirit and traditions remain. Whether donning crazy costumes for Spirit Week, walking downtown to attend mass, or swaying arm-in-arm while singing the alma mater, generations of women have upheld these traditions and called Notre Dame home.
A Culture of Innovation
Notre Dame's progressive culture of solution-finding, resource-sharing, skill-building and partnerships promotes curiosity and creativity within a unique learning environment.
Unique Downtown Experience
A Notre Dame education extends well beyond the footprint of our downtown San Jose campus, out into the tenth largest city in the United States and the thriving center of Silicon Valley.
Juniors took time away from the bustle of school to reflect, connect, and recharge at Green Mountain Retreat. Ashley '27 and Jazmine '27 share their favorite moments among the redwoods and oak woodlands.
From family dinners to Friendsgiving, Notre Dame student Alina '26 reflects on the meaning of Thanksgiving.
In November, the Notre Dame Theater Department took a student-written adaptation of The Gruffalo on tour to Most Holy Trinity Grade School. This project was directed and organized by Gigi '26 and Lila '26 for their senior capstone community service project. It is the first of 3 tour stops as our students give back to our community through their love of theater.
Last week, nine seniors from ND embarked on a five-day trip to our nation’s capital for the annual Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice to learn about key issues facing our country and advocate for environmental justice and better immigration legislation.
