The Academy of Notre Dame is a private, Catholic co-educational Pre-K through Grade 12 lower school and college preparatory upper school sponsored by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur.

The boarding school outgrew that location and moved to rural Tyngsboro, on land formerly belonging to actress Nance O'Neil, in 1927.
