Notre Dame is the only Catholic pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade school in Savannah, Ga., whose main shareholders are African American. It is located in an area with a strong sense of its own cultural identity, which in recent years is being revitalized. In the school's catchment area, there is a rebirth of a strong sense of community and a desire for enrichment.The school's population has traditionally been drawn from the African-American community and now, as the Thomas Square community is experiencing resurgence, its demographics covers a more diverse range of backgrounds. Because of its history and reputation for delivering quality education in the inner city, Notre Dame Academy has become a part of the cultural fabric of Savannah. It is a school where "weak students get stronger and good students get better."
