Connect with Us

Members of the Admissions team are available every weekday to answer questions and guide you through the admission process. We invite you to reach out to us via phone (248) 373-1061, or email us at admissions@ndpma.org. Better yet, we encourage you to submit an inquiry form. By doing so you automatically will create an account in MyNotreDame, and will be one step ahead when it comes time to apply.

We also invite you to join us for one or more of the multiple in-person and virtual events on our schedule. Links to virtual sessions will be e-mailed to registered participants in advance.

SHADOWING

Notre Dame welcomes students entering grades 6 and up to be “Irish for a Day” on most days throughout the school year. Shadow days run from 7:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., encompassing four academic periods, Community Time, and lunch. Students applying to our lower school will have a “Visit Day” scheduled for them at the end of the admission process.

Students entering Grade 9 who would like to have an enhanced shadow day experience at NDP may wish to consider registering for a “Lucky Day” during the fall semester, or one in May for current Grade 7 students who are looking to matriculate as 9^th graders. Lucky Days run from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., encompassing three academic periods and lunch. They begin and end with brief special programs, and include a voluntary scavenger hunt. Lucky Days are sure to be a fun, informative and memorable experience for all attendees. Space is limited.

To register your child to be Irish for a Day or for a Lucky Day, please call the Office of Admissions at 248-373-1061, or click here for more information.
