International Students at Notre Dame

At Notre Dame High School, we are proud of our welcoming and inclusive community rooted in faith and academic excellence. Over the years, international students have brought valuable cultural perspectives and enriched our school environment.

As we focus more closely on our local and regional student programs, we are reducing the scope of our international student admissions. While we will continue to accept a limited number of international students, this will be done in close partnership with a select group of pre-approved agencies.

International Student Admission Process

International applicants must be sponsored by an approved agency that has all required documentation on file with the Diocese and Notre Dame High School. Applications submitted without agency sponsorship will not be considered at this time.

For inquiries, please contact one of our approved agencies listed below.
