Notre Dame International School
Academic Year 2025-2026
Dear Notre Dame Community,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 academic year at Notre Dame International School!
As we begin this new school year, I feel honored and deeply proud of our continuous commitment to providing an exceptional international education grounded in the values that define us: peace, freedom, respect, solidarity, honesty, tolerance, and justice. These principles guide every member of our community and shape the holistic development of our students as lifelong learners and global citizens.
Since our foundation, Notre Dame International School has remained steadfast in nurturing an inclusive, multicultural, and multilingual environment. Our students not only excel academically but also develop the social-emotional skills and intercultural understanding essential to thrive in today’s interconnected world.
Aligned with the International Baccalaureate philosophy, our goal is to empower each student to become an inquirer, thinker, communicator, and principled individual — ready to face challenges with creativity, resilience, and compassion. We believe that education is much more than acquiring knowledge; it is about forming responsible and reflective individuals who contribute positively to their communities and the world.
