Notre Dame High School in San Jose is a private secondary school for young women with a long-standing history in California. It is operated by the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, a Catholic religious order founded in 1804, which arrived in California in 1851 to establish Notre Dame institutions in San Jose. The school opened on August 4, 1851, and its mission has been guided by the idea of teaching what students need to know for life, aiming to prepare them for success in Silicon Valley. Positioned within the primary and secondary education sector, the school serves families in the San Jose area as part of the private school landscape in the Silicon Valley. In October 2025, Notre Dame San Jose hosted its first Model UN Conference, drawing over 80 delegates from Notre Dame and six other Bay Area high schools.
