Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy is conducted by the Marist
Fathers and Brothers. Founded in 19th-century France, the Society of Mary has sent its
members to live and work in far corners of the world, where they have brought the
good news of God’s grace to an array of cultures. In Michigan, Marist Fathers and
Brothers served at Cathedral High School (1951-1956), Notre Dame High School (19542005), Madonna University (1984-2013) and Notre Dame Preparatory School and
Marist Academy (since 1994).

NDP students display leadership in more than 20
student clubs, service organizations, special
activities and academic competitions.
In 1992 Archbishop Adam Maida, at the request of the Pontiac Area Vicariate pastors,
asked the Marist Fathers and Brothers to sponsor a new school in Oakland County.
The lower (grades JK-5), middle (grades 6-8) and upper (grades 9-12) divisions of the
school are located on a campus of nearly 100 acres of wooded land in the northeast
corner of Pontiac, Michigan. Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy
accepts students of proven ability, from any race or ethnic origin. Although the school
serves a predominantly Roman Catholic population, students from other denominations
or religious traditions are welcome.
MISSION
Notre Dame Preparatory School and Marist Academy provides its diverse student body
a Catholic and internationally recognized college-preparatory experience of lasting value.
We affirm our Marist mission to: Work with God to form Christian people, upright citizens and
academic scholars.

titled “Theory of Knowledge”, and participate in local community service, school sports
teams, and performing arts programs as part of their Creativity-Action-Service requirement (CAS).
