From July 17-21, 2023, we will be welcoming students and faculty members from our international sister schools to our campus. During this week, Notre Dame Upper School students will engage in problem-solving based courses that creatively address global issues using STEM concepts and skills. Students may work alongside students from Argentina, Canada, Japan, Peru, Taiwan, The United Kingdom, and The United States. Our Middle School students will have the added opportunity of working alongside students from several local middle schools. Overall, roughly 120 students will be guided through project-based learning that celebrates cultural differences as a benefit to collaboratively finding sustainable solutions to complex problems.
