Academic Support

Academic Tutoring

In an effort to bolster our students’ skills, Notre Dame High School created an academic support program in which students can obtain extra help in their classes. Students who would like to work with tutors in various subject areas like math, English, or science, are able to utilize daily study halls to do so. Currently, over 15 members of the community volunteer their time on a weekly basis to come in and work with Notre Dame’s students. Tutors come from as far away as places like Acton, MA and from Incarnation Parish in Melrose, MA to as close as Merrimack College.

The tutoring program is run by Mrs. Donna Brine, a teacher with 30+ years of experience in special education. Mrs. Brine works with tutors, teachers, and students to modify the program to maximize results for Notre Dame’s students. People interested in volunteering their time to tutor any subject should feel free to contact Donna Brine.

Peer Tutoring

Notre Dame students are also enthusiastic to give back to the school. Currently approximately 12 students volunteer their time as peer tutors to help their classmates with class material.
