Notre Dame's mission is "to educate young women for responsible living in a global society with an extensive co-curricular and athletic program.

In 1943, the school entered into an agreement to purchase "Launfal," the 50-acre estate of the late utilities magnate, Clarence Geist and took possession of the property on January 1, 1944.

After officially purchasing the Mansion and surrounding property in 2006, the school became an independent educational institution affiliated with the Sisters of Notre Dame.

Since the Academy’s establishment, learning buildings and athletic fields have been added to the campus to address the needs of the Notre Dame community.

Today, the academy continues to educate young women on “what they need to know for life” while preparing them to be the leaders of tomorrow.
