A Learning Community

Notre Dame High School, San Jose is the center for women’s leadership in Silicon Valley and has provided an exceptional Catholic college preparatory education for young women since 1851. The school's mission is guided by the teachings of Saint Julie Billiart, the foundress of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, with a strong focus on social justice to create lifelong learners, spiritual seekers, justice advocates and community leaders.  Our mission, summarized by the words of Saint Julie Billiart, is to “teach them what they need to know for life.”

Our Commitment

In alignment with our mission and hallmarks, Notre Dame High School, San Jose is an equal opportunity employer committed to building a diverse and collaborative community. We value and honor the contributions of all communities, and especially Black, indigenous, people of color (BIPOC) and other underrepresented communities. This commitment starts with our faculty & staff and in our working environment. As part of an ongoing initiative, our hiring process reflects our commitment to center race, equity, diversity, and inclusion throughout our institutional culture and practices. We encourage individuals who come from historically underrepresented communities and those who value equitable practices in education to apply.
