Applying to NDA

If you are interested in applying for the 2020-2021 school year, please contact Admissions@nda-worc.org.

At Notre Dame Academy we understand that our students are much more than the scores that they receive in elementary and middle school. That's why our Admissions Committee meets and considers many factors when evaluating students for enrollment. Our Admissions team is here to help guide you through our admissions process. Please feel free to email us at admissions@nda-worc.org if you have any questions.

FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION

The education NDA provides is largely funded by tuition. While we make every effort to keep tuition costs within reason, we recognize that some families require financial assistance. We encourage families to apply for financial aid as early as possible in the process. NDA bases its financial assistance on demonstrated financial need and cannot guarantee the availability of funds for late applicants. Families must re-apply for financial aid each year by completing an application with current financial information.

If you wish to be considered for financial aid, you must apply online at https://www.solutionsbysss.com/parents and complete the Parents’ Financial Statement (PFS). Online applications are available. You will be instructed on how to complete the PFS form.
