News
Q: Will the IB Diploma help me get into College/University?
A: Yes. IB Diploma Program is widely (U.S.A, Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and more) recognized as a valuable preparation for college and beyond. Many colleges give additional recognition to IB Diploma holders in the form of credits and scholarships.
Q: Do students receive an ND and MINED Diploma as well?
A: Yes. After successfully completing all requirements of the IB organization, IB Diploma Program students will have earned an IB Diploma and after successfully completing all Notre Dame requirements, IB students will also have earned a diploma. We have structured our course of study to allow students to pursue all three diplomas successfully within the traditional high school experience.
Q: Will I have to pay more on my monthly fees?
A: No, as part of our academic growth ND wants this program to be part of our curriculum and no extra charges will be sent to parents on their regular fees.
Q: How will it differ if I choose not to be part of the IB Assessment at ND?
A: We have modified our curriculum to be in line with the IB requirements, if a student and parents
choose not to make the fee payment for the IBO; this won’t affect our students in anything. However
they will only receive two diplomas, ND and MINED Diploma.

The Art of Managing Middle School Students
Squirrels. That is what they remind me of. We were all that age once and we were all just like squirrels! Have you ever watched a squirrel? Zoom, freeze for two seconds, flick tail, and repeat. The trick for being a successful middle school teacher is holding their attention for more than just those few seconds. Believing that that is possible requires a huge leap of faith and trust.
