Notre Dame High School, Inc., Talofofo, Guam, was granted a six-year accreditation term from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Western Catholic Educational Association (WCEA). The school's onsite visitation was held March 20-23, 2011.
Notre Dame is the first Catholic school on Guam to receive the full WCEA accreditation process. According to the official WCEA website, "Early in its development WCEA joined with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (the Regional accreditation association) when it carne into existence. Essentially the purpose of any Catholic high school was to teach the faith and permeate its curriculum with the values taught by the Roman Catholic Church. Eventually the Catholic high schools developed their curriculum around the colleges and universities basic requirements for entrance so that a graduating senior's diploma would be recognized by these institutions as proof of an academic education that prepared the student for higher education."
Notre Dame High School, Inc. is a Catholic Coeducational Secondary School sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. The school prepares students not only for college, but also for lifelong learning by empowering the whole person. The school encourages collaboration, instills leadership, promotes dedication to service, and inspires passion for justice and peace in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
