Giving Activity

Mission

Notre Dame School, recognizing that each person is created in the image of God, educates students with developmental disabilities and facilitates their integration into society.

Needs

Notre Dame School educates 152 students with developmental disabilities in small classrooms with 10 students and 2 teachers. Our posted tuition is half of what it actually costs to educate students with individual education plans. In addition we offer financial aid for those families who demonstrate the most need.

We must raise over $2 million to support our operating budget. Our biggest need is unrestricted funding to support our budget.

Equity Statement

At Notre Dame of Dallas Schools, we live by the Golden Rule: we treat everyone equally and with dignity, as we would want to be treated. We live by our founders' mission to 'stand in solidarity with anyone who has experienced some form of discrimination or limitation of their human rights.' (School Sister of Notre Dame, 2023)

The outreach of our mission goes beyond traditional definitions to include ALL ABILITY, along with race, gender, age, and religion, recognizing that all are created in God's image. We hold ourselves accountable to this creed and work tirelessly to encourage, educate, and call upon others to do so as well. We strive to educate and be educated on the need for acceptance and in particular, openness to the most vulnerable and marginalized."
