Notre Dame Preparatory School

Notre Dame Preparatory School is a Catholic, independent college preparatory day school for girls in grades 6 through 12, located in Towson, Maryland. The school enrolls roughly 850 students. Its mission emphasizes academic excellence, spiritual growth, and social justice—preparing young women to lead and transform their communities.

Teaching at Notre Dame Prep connects classroom work to real-world problems. The curriculum spans English, mathematics, sciences, and humanities, with five language programs: Mandarin Chinese, French, Italian, Latin, and Spanish. Daily chapel, community service partnerships, and student-led justice initiatives are embedded in school life. For teachers, this means your lessons exist within a larger ecosystem of values-centered education.

The all-girls environment shapes how faculty teach. Teachers design curriculum with intentional focus on gender and leadership development. Classroom discussion deepens when girls explore how women learn, lead, and solve problems together. Faculty report that single-sex pedagogy allows richer engagement with both content and identity formation. The tradition of the School Sisters of Notre Dame underpins the community; the school expects faculty to engage with its Catholic mission, though subject-matter expertise is paramount.

Notre Dame Preparatory School hires year-round for academic departments, modern and classical languages, and support staff roles. The school seeks educators who combine deep subject knowledge with openness to faith-centered community. Day school employment allows faculty to live off campus and build lives in the Baltimore region while maintaining meaningful professional engagement.

For teachers seeking independent school work in Maryland within a values-driven community, Notre Dame Prep offers substantive academic and spiritual partnership.
