What our families are saying:

 

Our family has been a part of the Notre Dame community since 2012. When searching for the right school for our children, Notre Dame stood out among all the schools we had seen. Warm, welcoming and above and beyond not only for our children but our family as well. We know that they are safe and well taken care of.  The teachers and staff are one of a kind. Our children are being provided a well rounded catholic education. We have made so many friends that have become like family. We are truly grateful to be a part of the Notre Dame school and church community.

The education our son receives is leaps and bounds above what we ever expected! That is nothing compared to the school community. Amazing volunteers, fantastic families and absolutely first rate staff & teachers, developing our little ones through Faith, Mind and Spirit. We are so proud to be part of the Notre Dame of Bethlehem Family!

We are incredibly blessed to have chosen Notre Dame for our son’s education. Notre Dame’s commitment to academic excellence, strong Catholic values, and supportive community has made a lasting impact on our family. The rigorous academics and dedicated teachers challenge students to excel in their studies. The strong Catholic values foster a deep love for God and a commitment to living a moral life. The supportive community extends beyond the classroom to extracurricular activities including CYO sports, chess club, band, drama, and the service corps. While the tuition at Notre Dame may be an investment, it is one that has yielded extraordinary returns for our family. Our son is thriving, and we are confident that he is receiving a world-class education.

When we were searching for the right school for our child, it was easy to feel overwhelmed by the many options available. As parents, we wanted a school that would not only provide a strong academic foundation but also nurture our child’s spiritual, emotional, and social growth. After much research and consideration, we are so grateful to have found Notre Dame—a place that truly offers everything we were looking for and more.

From the very beginning, what stood out to us about Notre Dame was its holistic approach to education. The school doesn’t just focus on academics; it also nurtures the spiritual and emotional well-being of each child. The faculty and staff are not only committed to excellence in the classroom, but they also take the time to understand each child’s individual needs, talents, and challenges. It is clear that they truly care about helping children grow into well-rounded individuals who are ready to face the world with confidence, kindness, and a deep sense of faith.

Our child has thrived at Notre Dame—both academically and personally. The curriculum is challenging and engaging, and we’ve seen our child develop critical thinking skills, grow in knowledge, and take on leadership roles in various activities. But what really sets Notre Dame apart is the way the school fosters a love of learning while also focusing on building character. Our child is not only gaining academic skills, but also learning the values of compassion, respect, and service to others—values that will guide him throughout his life.

Communication at Notre Dame has been exceptional. From regular updates on our child’s progress to the easy accessibility of the teachers and staff, we’ve always felt supported and informed. The school actively encourages a partnership between parents and educators, and we appreciate how open and responsive they are whenever we have questions or concerns. We are never left in the dark, and we know that the school values our involvement in our child’s education.

Perhaps most importantly, the sense of community at Notre Dame is truly special. The teachers, staff, and other families create a welcoming and supportive environment where every child feels valued and loved. We have seen firsthand how Notre Dame lives out its mission of helping children grow in a Christian environment. The school provides not just an education, but a place where our child can develop a strong moral foundation and a deep understanding of God’s love.

We are grateful for the wonderful experiences our child has had at Notre Dame and for the growth we’ve seen in him—spiritually, academically, and emotionally. It is clear that Notre Dame is committed to providing a top-notch Catholic education and a supportive community where children can flourish in every way.

Thank you, Notre Dame, for being such a wonderful place for our child to grow, learn, and discover his gifts. We wholeheartedly recommend this school to other families looking for a place where their child can thrive in mind, body, and spirit.

My wife and I have five children, four of which are school aged and have attended or are currently attending Notre Dame Elementary School. Our experience at this school has been nothing but a positive experience. This school and its wonderful staff provide great structure, discipline and an overall positive, God friendly learning environment for our children. Our children are not just a number at this school, they are part of a family. They are cared for in a way that most schools simply cannot provide. One of our jobs as parents is to provide the best opportunity for our children to succeed, and Notre Dame gives us this opportunity. My oldest son, Luca attended Notre Dame Elementary and is now a freshman at Notre Dame GP. Luca is absolutely thriving there and has straight A's. I know with certainty that his elementary experience has placed him in this position to be successful. I have nothing but good things to say about Notre Dame Elementary School.

Notre Dame is like home to our family. Not only are the teachers highly skilled, but their engaging commitment and dedication to our children shines through in both their personal and academic growth. We are always welcomed with open arms by the attentive and thoughtful staff, and we appreciate the values instilled in our children. Being an ND alumnus and now having my previous teachers teach my children is a blessing we never take for granted. We highly recommend Notre Dame for anyone seeking a supportive, loving, and enriching environment for their child’s education. WE LOVE ND!!

In our nine years at Notre Dame, our children have had dedicated, compassionate teachers who truly love their work.  They have thrived academically and socially.  Our oldest child has moved on to high school and was well prepared for honors classes as a Freshman.  If we had to make the choice again, we would absolutely choose Notre Dame School of Bethlehem.

I am proud to say my daughters go to Notre Dame. Grateful for the faith that is instilled in them throughout their time at ND.This year's calendar of events handed out at beginning of year is fabulous! Getting information earlier is so very helpful for busy families! CYO sports and activities have been excellent! FOND is a great new way in which for parents to get involved! All events so far have been wonderful - thoughtfully planned out, fun for the kids, and brings together the school community.

Three things come to mind when I think about Notre Dame...a sense of family, teachers who truly love and care for our children, and a rigorous curriculum which thoroughly prepares our children for high school and beyond.  All of these things are centered around our Catholic faith and an abiding love of Jesus, which is most important of all.

From the first day I entered the school when looking for a pre-school for my eldest, and met Mrs. Brita and Mrs. Demian, I knew this was the place for my children, a place for them to love and grow in faith and knowledge, surrounded by people who only wanted the best for them. After 13 years having my four children attend Notre Dame, I have never regretted that decision and I hope the school continues on the right track as our two youngest finish out their time at ND over the next few years.

There’s so much we value and appreciate; how to begin….  The choir, altar service at the church, the mass every Friday, the children’s liturgy at 1st and 3th Sunday of the month, the school plays etc. Sincerely the school and church is doing a great job. We feel very blessed and can’t thank you enough. All the teachers from pre-k through 8th grade, all the staff that works at the school. The CYO, all the parents, volunteers and parishioners from ND church etc. The kindness and Christian values of Notre Dame school. We feel at home like we have an extended family at Notre Dame of Bethlehem school.
