Notre Dame de Sion believes that moments of significant learning are achieved through experiences that allow students to connect to the real world, understanding the type of learning they are through meta-cognition, growing independence, finding their voice, gifts and talents. By connecting each student with their unique purpose, Sion students mature as well-rounded individuals, faith-filled global citizens, and servant leaders.

Our belief in the transformative power of learning is rooted in the unique charism of the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Sion. In 1843, the sisters established schools open to all levels of society and all religions. At the time, this openness was unprecedented for Catholic education and transformed the way students learned about their place in history and the world. Sion’s holistic education values pluralism and inter-dialogue where the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and perspectives enliven both individuals and build understanding.
