=HOME= Peoria Notre Dame High School is at a critical point in its history with the opportunity to redefine excellence for the next one hundred years with the construction of a new campus on the Willow Knolls site. A school will always be more than bricks and mortars. A Catholic school is a place where the young men and women of our community are pushed to answer the guiding questions of their life: Who are they? Who is God? Who is Chris? Why the Church? and Why are we here?

The answers to these questions help define meaning and purpose and provide direction in life. In addition to the higher purpose of Catholic education rests the importance of preparing our young people to succeed at the collegiate level and beyond. Our curriculum is college-prep in design and geared towards creating a learning environment where students are challenged and pushed to stretch their minds and abilities to their limits and beyond. We believe the only way to teach critical thinking is to require it. To teach responsibility it must be offered. Our learning environment is unique and distinctive. Our course will be taught using instructional practices that are radically distinguishable from area schools still using methods grounded in the industrial model.

Everything about our new school will be distinctive from the building to the instructional practice.
