Notre Dame’s classrooms are places of curiosity, rigour and encouragement. With small class sizes and a structured academic day, students build the habits that define university success—inside and outside the classroom.
We teach for the world of tomorrow: how to think independently, communicate effectively, collaborate generously and act with integrity.
The Eight Core Academic Differentiators
Notre Dame’s commitment to Full Student Development ensures every Hound is known, challenged, and supported. Students learn through purposeful academics, innovative pathways, and real-world experiences that build curiosity, judgment, and courage. As a result, tomorrow’s leaders leave prepared not only to succeed, but to shape the communities and teams they serve with integrity.
Annual MAP Growth assessments for all Hounds each September, creating a living learner profile that helps teachers target support, stretch strengths and track progress over time.
An expanding AP pathway across English, mathematics, sciences, languages, history and the arts, giving motivated students the depth and challenge that prepares them for competitive university programs.
A reimagined EAL program that weaves language development into everyday learning, so international students build English confidence while keeping pace academically.
A Notre Dame Student-Initiated Immersive Week where students design passion projects — from outdoor adventure to design and innovation — working side by side with faculty mentors.
Enhanced Guidance that moves beyond the office: structured university campus visits across multiple provinces and emerging post-grad support to help recent Hounds navigate their next steps.
An innovative asynchronous Online Learning Program for Grades 11, 12 and Gap Year, built for student-athletes and remote learners who need high-performance academics with flexible delivery.
The Athol Murray College of Notre Dame Diploma, earned in addition to the Saskatchewan Secondary School Diploma, recognizing students who meet high standards in academics, service, leadership and extracurricular commitment.
Co-curricular program that takes learning outside of the classroom. Our program not only offers students the opportunity to participate in programs that they have a passion for but also allows them to explore new and exciting alternatives particularly in the area of Indigenous culture.
Pathways and Guidance
Students work with faculty and counsellors to plan pathways that fit their goals—whether that means university in Canada or the United States, college, junior hockey or another next step. Graduates continue their studies at a wide range of institutions and bring their Hound mindset with them.
Where our graduates go
More than 100 years of graduates and one unbroken spirit. Hounds have gone on to become CEOs, scientists, teachers, Olympians, artists, and leaders in communities around the world.
Wherever they go, they carry the same mindset: effort, excellence, and empathy. The Notre Dame Alumni network is active and supportive—ready to mentor the next generation and open doors for those who follow. Once a Hound, always a Hound.
