Why choose Notre Dame High School?

What distinguishes the education offered at Notre Dame of West Haven is its experience and expertise in “boy learning.” In educating each young man to his highest potential, Notre Dame makes hands-on learning an integral part of the college-prep curriculum.

An honors program, AP classes, and courses that count for college credit position students for acceptance at first-rate colleges and universities – and our record of success is strong. These same courses, taught at other levels, create fertile soil for learning as well, and traditionally 98 percent of our graduates go on to college.

Rounding out the Notre Dame experience is a strong tradition of brotherhood and pride. Internally, the sense of brotherhood plays out in a school-wide atmosphere of respect for self and others. Externally, the sense of pride is reflected on the sports field (or court, or pool), in the arts, a host of club activities, and through a solid program of community service that reflects the values at the heart of a Notre Dame education.

Student Life:

Notre Dame High School is a place where students form and experience community. Be it during lunch time, a classroom project, a spiritual retreat, a community service activity, or an after-school event, students find many ways to interact with each other.

Notre Dame’s student body is racially, geographically, and socioeconomically diverse, and the school uniform is but one “equalizer” on a campus where character development includes learning to know a person for who he is rather than for what he has.

Hopkins School, New Haven
Courses / Programs
Hopkins School is an independent, coeducational, college-preparatory day school for grades 7-12 located in New Haven, New Haven County, Connecticut. We offer middle and high schools programs with a college prep SAT and ACT, advanced placement and honors courses. The curriculum promotes a strong foundation in the academic disciplines, a broad exposure to the liberal arts, and selective opportunities to pursue individual interests.

We challenge students to try on the perspectives and habits of mind that historians and writers, mathematicians and linguists, scientists and artists, and athletes and musicians bring to their disciplines.

Here students experience the ways that scholars from the various fields pose questions; then they pose questions of their own. They progress through increasingly empowering stages, from harvesting information to gaining knowledge, to reaching understanding and, finally, to forming convictions. Life at Hopkins is also strongly athletic, artistic, and social; it presumes a commonality of purpose and a focus on striving for excellence in everything we do. We are accredited by the National Association of Independent Schools.
