Notre Dame Prep encourages all applicants to complete the admission process by January 12. Doing so will ensure an admission decision on Acceptance Day, January 22. Once enrollment begins, NDP will continue accepting applications and enrolling new students as space permits.
Per the Archdiocese of Detroit, Notre Dame Prep will announce decisions on January 22 to applicants who have completed the admission process at least one week in advance of that date. After this date we will announce decisions within one to two school days following the student-parent interview. Students who have been admitted to NDP for the 2026-27 school year may enroll promptly after receiving their notice of acceptance. Students admitted after this date will be able to enroll as space permits.
