Distinguished Scholars Program

Overview

On the basis of elementary/middle school achievement, teacher recommendations, personal interview, and entrance exam score, a select number of first-year applicants will be invited to pursue their four-year high school education as Notre Dame Distinguished Scholars. This High Honors Program is grounded in a challenging and diverse curriculum, featuring interdisciplinary inquiry, independent initiative, and a commitment to academic excellence. Studying and learning together in this small group, a community of scholarship and intellectual curiosity will be prepared, on a more advanced level, for future studies and opportunities in higher education.
