How does Notre Dame Academy differ from archdiocesan schools?
Notre Dame Academy is similar to the archdiocesan schools in that it follows the doctrine of the Catholic church and uses a religion curriculum that has been approved by the archdiocese. However, there are some differences. For one, Notre Dame Academy is a Marist-sponsored school and therefore is following the Marist’s education principles. Notre Dame Academy also is not eligible to participate in the archdiocesan financial aid program or to receive funding from the archdiocese as archdiocesan schools do. Finally, Notre Dame Academy follows a different academic curriculum based on the guidelines of the International Baccalaureate Organization, as an IB World, and national and State of Georgia curriculum standards.
