After-School Clubs
Notre Dame Catholic Academy offers a variety of extracurricular activities designed to meet the interests of our students. The Extracurricular Activities Program is an opportunity and a privilege afforded to the students in NDCA. These programs are available because of the generosity of our faculty members who are willing to dedicate their time and talents to the students of Notre Dame Catholic Academy beyond the hours of the school day.
Below you will find information for each of the extracurricular activities that we plan to offer during the school year. Please note that some of the programs will be offered in the Fall, while others will start in the Winter or Spring. More clubs will be added below as they get closer to starting.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of the activities below, please feel free to reach out to the moderators of the club or activity. Separate registration forms will be sent out for each of the clubs. Please be aware that some of the clubs will have a maximum number of participants, therefore, registration will be on a first come, first served basis.
We look forward to a very productive and fun-filled year for the students of NDCA!

Details: The NDCA Drama Club offers students in Grades 6 through 8 the opportunity to be part of a very special club that showcases their talents, creativity, and enthusiasm for the theatre. The Drama Club has invaluable benefits for the students who work on stage and behind stage. Working on our productions helps students build their confidence and self-esteem. It creates friendships across grade levels and invests them in our school community in a unique way.
Although auditions are held for major parts, all students are welcome to join as we need students as sound technicians, choreographers, set designers, artists, etc.

Details: The Volleyball Team will learn the skills needed to play the game of volleyball including serving, passing, and hitting the ball over the net. It is a great physical activity for the students because it strengthens the upper and lower body. It also improves cardiovascular and respiratory systems. It is a beneficial and healthy way for the children to stay in shape and have fun. Our goal is to teach the fundamentals of the game, but also the importance of working as a team. Team members must value and respect their fellow team members. It is a cooperative effort whereby the students will learn patience, persistence, and confidence. Whether they win or lose, it’s the importance of working together towards a common goal that matters most.
