Rebel With A Cause
On April 25th, 2024, Notre Dame Academy will host our largest fundraiser of the year Rebel with a Cause to celebrate our NDA community. Honoring the recipients of the Knollwood Award and the inductees to the Society of Arts, this event showcases the values imbued in an NDA educational experience and how they prepare alumnae for their lives as women in the world. The awardees are members of the NDA community who exemplify Notre Dame’s tradition of service to others and values of character, community, and commitment.
Help us recognize a deserving member of the NDA community by nominating them
for a Knollwood or Society of the Arts Award. Nominations are due by Friday, February 9.
Honorees will be announced Thursday, February 15.
The Knollwood Awards
The Knollwood Awards were established by the Board of Trustees of Notre Dame Academy to honor women whose commitment to their vocations and dedication to the service of others exemplifies the Notre Dame Academy tradition. The Knollwood Award is presented to an NDA alumna or community leader whose demonstrated interest in education, and service to the Greater Worcester Community, and achievements in her chosen life’s work identifies her as having the special spirit that Notre Dame Academy cultivates and fosters among its students. This year marks the 35th Anniversary of the Knollwood Awards!

Your support of Notre Dame Academy allows us to be here for our students - and for the students of the future. Financial aid and scholarships enrich our community by providing equitable access to a premier education for young women who otherwise would not have the opportunity to benefit from a transformative experience that inspires confident, forward-thinking, compassionate leaders. This event celebrates our values, which ensure that each student can take the education that, as St. Julie instilled, "Teach them what they need to know for life” and make our world a better place.
