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 those younger students, it is an opportunity to meet students who might be attending Notre Dame within the coming years and to make 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 the styles of teaching and the expectations of our freshman faculty. Additionally, students will become familiar with our campus, our history, and have opportunities to socialize with their peers.
