About

The Notre Dame community, which has about 1500 students, is richly diverse in its cultural background, athletic and artistic interests, and academic choices. It is united by Lorne Howcroft's belief that together everyone can make a difference in our world by living the school motto, "Justice, Love, and Peace". Academically, Notre Dame offers a wide range of programs including the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program, University, College, and Workplace streams, and also a Non-Profit Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program.

Notre Dame stands in solidarity with our local and global communities by collecting an average of 30,000 pounds of food annually for Brampton's food banks, supporting diverse initiatives​​​ like Terry Fox and Anti-Bullying campaigns, and donating money and supplies to many countries in need around the world. For the past few years, the school has also supported a social justice mission to Nicaragua where students have had the opportunity to help communities in need.​​

Notre Dame is a vibrant and inclusive space where we celebrate the unique talents of our staff and students, as we work towards providing a full and balanced Catholic education for all of our students. 

MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to bring to life our school’s motto of “justice, love, peace” through the witness of each student and staff member. Our goal is for our students to realize not only their academic potential but also their ability to impact the world as stewards of the earth and advocates for social justice. Our hope is that through their experience at Notre Dame: our students are empowered through an appreciation of the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations to grow in their faith; and understand that God’s love for them is unconditional.
