Transitional Kindergarten and Kindergarten
TK & Kindergarten are full day programs, and after school (NDVEP) available until 6pm. NDV students at École Notre Dame des Victoires (NDV) come from all different and far-reaching neighborhoods throughout San Francisco, as well as from various cities within the greater Bay Area. The administration and the faculty welcome a diverse student population thus creating a rich academic environment for all its students. NDV does not discriminate on the basis of race, national and/or ethnic origin, sex, or disability in its educational policies, admission policies, scholarship and loan programs, athletic programs, or other school-administered programs.
The NDV community is so special and dynamic. We encourage you to attend some of the many school activities and events. In the admission season, we invite families to the Halloween Carnival on October 26, 2024, at NDV, and in particular, our annual fundraiser, the Bal de Paris. It will be a spectacular gala event for prospective parents with a raffle and live art auction benefitting NDV. The theme of this years’ Bal is Le Bal du Centenaire on Saturday, November 9, 2024, at the Historic Fairmont Hotel! The Bal de Paris, or any of the many events will give you a flavor for NDV’s singular community. Please contact the school if you would like to attend and participate. We want to give you every opportunity to get to experience the NDV family.
