Notre Dame Hallmarks
The seven hallmarks that shape NDGA
Our History in Education
The Notre Dame tradition behind the school
The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur rang their first school bell in France in 1804 under the leadership of St. Julie Billiart. Their educational mission later reached Nigeria in 1963 and has continued through school, pastoral, and community service in many dioceses.
NDGA stands inside that wider heritage. Families meet a local school in Kuje Abuja, but they are also stepping into a tradition of girls' education, Catholic formation, joy, hope, and service that stretches across countries and generations.
Child Safeguarding
Student safety and dignity remain part of the school's duty of care
A gift from God
NDGA recognises every child as a gift from God and values the participation of students in activities that support their spiritual, physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development.
Shared responsibility
Staff, religious, and volunteers are expected to protect welfare, promote safety, and work with parents and guardians in the best interest of every child.
A safe and caring environment
The school remains committed to a caring environment that supports wellbeing, prevents abuse, and protects the dignity and rights of children.
