[edit] Campus

Notre Dame de Sion is one school with two campuses. The co-educational elementary school (Montessori preschool through 8th grade) is located in the Hyde Park section of Kansas City. The all-girls college preparatory high school in south Kansas City is located just off I-435. The school began an extensive renovation project in 2004 with improvements being made at both campuses. The high school is undergoing a massive physical update, the first since being built, with improvements to existing classrooms, administrative offices, and new chapel, gymnasium, and fine and performing arts center.

Notre Dame de Sion was recognized in 2007 by the Catholic High School Honor Roll as one of the 25 best Roman Catholic high schools in the United States for academic excellence.[1]
