The academic goal of Saint Joseph Notre Dame High School is to prepare students to be successful at a four-year college or university.

Students are encouraged to participate in the Advanced Placement program, which offers college-level course work in all major subject areas.

The curriculum exceeds state requirements for high school graduation and offers a wide variety of electives, as well. SJND offers advanced, honors and Advanced Placement classes in all of the core subjects (mathematics, English, science, modern language, social studies and art).  

A stellar group of teachers inspire and instruct students in a small-class atmosphere that encourages Socratic methods and individualized learning. Students also are actively engaged in their own learning. They ask questions, participate in learning groups and evaluate their own performance.

The school offers a wide array of courses, listed in the current course catalog, so that each student has the opportunity to enroll in a challenging and interesting curriculum.
