Admissions
Looking for the right kindergarten school for our daughter was no easy task…Surrounded by good, dedicated teachers and kind, wonderful friends and classmates, I know she is in good hands. My wife and I made the right decision to choose St. John Notre Dame.
The Galang Family
St. John Notre Dame School is fully accredited by the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). Since our founding, St. John Notre Dame has been granted the maximum accreditation. St. John Notre Dame partners with devout Roman Catholic school collaboratives including: Duc In Altum and The Institute for Catholic Education. All are welcome to inquire, visit and apply for enrollment at St. John Notre Dame School.
We chose St. John Notre Dame because we wanted the beliefs and values that we have at home to be reinforced at school along with stellar academics and a community of parents that are invested in their children's education.

Why Join the Irish Family?
St. John Notre Dame is Folsom’s only Catholic school. Founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1962, we are blessed with a heritage rich in tradition. We offer our students the opportunity to grow in the knowledge and practice of the Roman Catholic faith through liturgy, catechism, retreat experiences, and Christian service. St. John Notre Dame continues the mission of the Sisters by “teaching the children what they need to know for life.” We invite you to come visit and learn more about what it means to be a member of the Irish family.
Saint Julie Billiart, pray for us!
