History

The Sisters of St. Ursula founded Notre Dame School in 1912 when they came to New York from France. The school began in their home and hence became known as Chez Nous, an affectionate way of referring to the school. Originally located at Our Lady of Lordes paris on West 142nd Street near Amsterdam Avenue, and then, in 1943, moved to West 79th Street and changed its name to Notre Dame Convent School. The Sisters transferred ownership of the school to an independent Board of Trustees in 1989, and the school moved again to 104 St. Marks Place in the East Village neighborhood. In 2002, the school moved to its current location at 327 West 13th Street in Greenwich Village.^[2]
