SUMMER PROGRAMS PARENT/STUDENT ORIENTATION
Mark your calendars: Sunday, June 8, 2025 from 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Parents and students will attend a virtual orientation for summer programs on Sunday, June 8 at 3:00 pm. This one-hour session introduces parents and students to our summer program teachers and administrators who will familiarize families with Notre Dame policies and procedures. A Q&A Session will be part of the Summer Programs Virtual Orientation.
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 in 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.
