Higher College Enrollment and Graduation Rates

Caring Across The International Baccalaureate Continuum
Research looks into caring as the heart of teaching and learning in IB World Schools such as Notre Dame Prep.
A Class Like No Other
After a pandemic-influenced start four years ago, Notre Dame Prep graduates another outstanding senior class that finishes with a 100% college acceptance rate, an overall GPA of 3.85 and well more than $5 million (reported to date) in academic, merit-based college scholarships.
Visual Arts Flourish Once Again
Notre Dame Prep's visual arts students finished off the school year in typical fashion: a stellar exhibition mounted last month in the school's main triangle, and still another slew of awards in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition for the Southeastern Michigan region.
Why It's Cool To Be IB
Five of our upper school juniors and seniors currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program talk about the benefits of the curriculum and why they're glad they're taking it. They also love the support they get from faculty and staff.
At Notre Dame Prep, we inspire our students to become the best versions of themselves. We challenge them through an experience of academic excellence, focused on active, project-based learning. We invite them to explore a world of opportunities beyond the classroom. We guide them as they grow in spirituality within a community strong in its Catholic and Marist identity.
