Technology

Technology at Notre Dame Prep centers on the belief that sensible technology—that is technology that advances learning goals—can enhance teaching, motivate learning, and prepare students to meet the technological demands of higher education and the workplace.

At NDP, our faculty and students leverage technology to cultivate essential 21st-century skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and problem solving. Our campuswide wireless environment ensures that technology is seamlessly integrated into the curriculum, aligning with ISTE standards to provide a dynamic and adaptable education. This state-of-the-art approach equips our students with the tools they need to excel, no matter the path they choose after graduation.
