With Mary as our role model, Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School enshrines the tenet of human dignity in treating everyone as a reflection of God among us by encouraging respect and compassion to ensure all will reach his or her full potential.
Notre Dame is part of the Halton Catholic District School Board (HCDSB) and there are four associate schools; Canadian Martyrs, St. Gabriel, St. Mark and St. Timothy. Notre Dame is affiliated with St. Gabriel and St. Paul the Apostle parishes.
We are the designated Catholic secondary school in Burlington to offer Extended French as well as a variety of SHSM Programs. All students are required to wear a mandatory school uniform.
School Philosophy
The student is the focal point of Catholic Education. Every Notre Dame student is encouraged to work and learn to his or her maximum potential.
Learning is a co-operative endeavor shared amongst teachers, students and parents.
Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School is dedicated to academic excellence, the development of each individual’s interests and talents, and the nurturing of the Catholic Faith. Students are taught to think critically, work independently, communicate effectively and show respect for themselves, for others, and for the environment.
By accepting the challenge of education now, our students will be prepared to meet the future with faith, confidence, and a strong sense of their own self-worth. The staff of Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School, in partnership with home and church, is dedicated to helping our students respond to this challenge by encouraging them to discover the strengths and talents inherent in each and every one of them.
