NDGA is guided by the educational mission of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, whose work in schools reaches across countries and generations.
The Congregation Behind NDGA
The Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur
Notre Dame Girls' Academy is owned and managed by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, the congregation founded by St. Julie Billiart in France in 1804 with the conviction that children should be given what they need for life.
The mission reached Nigeria in 1963 through the British Province and continues through schools, pastoral care, health outreach, faith formation, and service in many dioceses. NDGA in Kuje Abuja belongs to that wider Notre Dame educational family.
Families therefore meet more than a local boarding school. They meet a school sustained by a Catholic educational tradition that has served young people in Great Britain, Japan, Nigeria, Belgium, Brazil, the United States, Kenya, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
