Specials for Pre-K through Grade 8
Special classes at the Academy of Notre Dame include offerings in art, music, world languages (grades Kindergarten-8), library and physical education. We believe that the specialist courses allow students to discover their gifts and talents in unique disciplines, while connecting scientific and artistic talents to academic coursework.
In order to achieve this, the academic excellence and spiritual formation of the Academy curriculum is strengthened by its extracurricular, or “specials” curriculum. Our students in kindergarten through grade 8 have the opportunity to participate in a variety of specialist courses.
Physical fitness is a high priority at the Academy, with weekly physical education classes and extensive intramural and competitive athletic opportunities. Students in grades 5 - 8 can participate on school athletic teams. Academy students are also eligible to participate fully in Tyngsboro town teams, both recreational and travel.
