Families Our families seek Notre Dame School because we deliver individualized curriculum, smaller class sizes and robust social opportunities.  Our students actively participate in after-school activities and sports such as pickleball and basketball; and students sign up for clubs such as Art Club, Pep Squad and Happy Flour Baking Club. Our Upper School students plan and attend prom each spring.

History Notre Dame School was founded in 1963 by School Sisters of Notre Dame (SSND) to honor and educate the unique gifts in each child. Since inception, SSND asks families for half the cost of tuition and our community and donors support the other half. Now sponsored by SSND and board governed, Notre Dame School strives to keep the cost of this specialized education equitable for all families. Therefore, 61 years later, posted tuition remains half of the actual cost. Notre Dame School is a Catholic school that is open to and welcomes all families and faiths.

Since opening in 2012, Klyde Warren Park has transformed downtown Dallas, turning 5.4 acres of land above the Woodall Rodgers Freeway into a vibrant green space that bridges Uptown and the Dallas Arts District. Beyond being a beloved gathering spot for relaxation and community events, the Park has had a significant economic impact on the surrounding area.

Klyde Warren Park features lush lawns, botanical gardens, a dog park, a children’s playground, and dining options, making it a destination for visitors of all ages. Its innovative design—built over a freeway—provides a much-needed green space for the city, offering a peaceful escape from urban life. Visitors can enjoy the Park’s free amenities or take part in a wide range of events, from yoga classes and concerts to family-friendly activities.

One of the Park’s most important roles is as a nonprofit organization. Operated by the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation, Klyde Warren Park is dedicated to maintaining its green space and providing free, accessible programming to the public. The Park relies heavily on the generosity of individual donors, foundations and corporate sponsors to sustain its operations. Contributions help cover the cost of maintenance, security, landscaping and programming, ensuring that the Park remains a well-maintained and welcoming destination for all.

Major fundraising events like Party in the Park play a key role in keeping Klyde Warren Park running, but individual donations are also crucial. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps the Park continue to be a vibrant place where people can gather, relax and enjoy year-round activities. By supporting the Park, donors make a lasting impact on the city, helping to preserve a public space that enhances both the quality of life and the economic vitality of Dallas.
