Summer Programs Offerings and Fees
Notre Dame Summer programs offer students a variety of courses that will build academic and artistic ability and instill confidence for advanced academic work. For those entering high school, it is an introduction to the expectations of secondary school. For younger students, it is an opportunity to meet students who might attend Notre Dame in the coming years and to form lasting friendships.
All courses are taught by Notre Dame faculty and experienced educators. Many teach freshman classes, and rising ninth-grade students will likely have them in the fall or subsequent years. The Summer Programs at ND will give incoming students insights into teaching styles and the expectations of our freshman faculty. Additionally, students will become familiar with our campus and history and will have opportunities to socialize with their peers.
