NDHS GUAM WELCOMES KYOTO NOTRE DAME



Kyoto Notre Dame students arrive in Talofofo. Students from both schools pray at the morning assembly.

Notre Dame High School (NDHS) welcomed its sister school from Kyoto, Japan, for a day of cultural exchange on Tuesday, March 8, 2012.  The Kyoto Notre Dame students were hosted by Notre Dame’s Japanese I and II classes. 

Principal Satsuki Takikawa, who led the Kyoto Notre Dame group, addressed Notre Dame’s student body, and shared a video montage of Kyoto Notre Dame’s academic, spiritual, and extra-curricular student life.  Students from both NDHS and Kyoto Notre Dame entertained the assembly with speeches in both English and Japanese, student-made videos, and several choreographed dance numbers.

Kyoto Notre Dame offers a Peace Study trip to Guam, Okinawa, or Hokkaido, as part of its curriculum for first year high school students (the equivalent of our 10th grade).  The Peace Study is geared toward educating students on the atrocities of war.  This year marked Notre Dame High School Guam’s and Kyoto Notre Dame’s sixth cultural exchange event.



Kyoto Notre Dame students perform for the Notre Dame Guam community. Students from Notre Dame High School perform a Chamorro cultural dance for the Kyoto visitors.

 

WASC/WCEA ACCREDITED
NDHS RECEIVES SIX-YEAR DUAL ACCREDITATION

     
    

Notre Dame High School, Inc. was granted a six-year accreditation term from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). The school’s onsite visitation was held March 20-23, 2011.  Notre Dame is the first Catholic school on Guam to receive the full WCEA accreditation process. According to the official WCEA website, “Early in its development WCEA joined with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (the Regional accreditation association) when it came into existence.  Essentially the purpose of any Catholic high school was to teach the faith and permeate its curriculum with the values taught by the Roman Catholic Church.  Eventually the Catholic high schools developed their curriculum around the colleges and universities basic requirements for entrance so that a graduating senior’s diploma would be recognized by these institutions as proof of an academic education that prepared the student for higher education.” 

Notre Dame High School, Inc. is a Catholic Coeducational Secondary School established by the School Sisters of Notre Dame.  The school prepares students not only for college, but also for lifelong learning by empowering the whole person.  The school encourages collaboration, instills leadership, promotes dedication to service, and inspires passion for justice and peace in the spirit of Jesus Christ.

The NDHS Board of Directors and Administration congratulates all its faculty and staff, students, parents and guardians, and alumni on attaining the full six-year dual accreditation from 2011-2017. Registration is ongoing for this upcoming school year. Call 789-1676/1677/1717/1745 for more information.
