Setup Guide for New Students
Notre Dame College Prep is a leader in using technology to enhance our students education. All students are required to purchase an Apple iPad for educational use. The iPad is a personalized learning device and provides each student access to educational technologies, digital textbooks, and communication with instructors.
All students must have an iPad capable of running iPad OS, iOS 17 or greater, with enough storage for their books and academic materials. NDCP recommends the 10.2 inch 64GB - WiFi only iPad. An iPad Pro is also acceptable, as is an iPad with 256GB of storage however iPad mini’s are not allowed. iPads can be purchased from Apple or at any authorized Apple retailer. Please contact Notre Dame College Prep's Senior Director of Informational Technology, Deanna Herman for more information.
