Our Founders
We were the first Catholic college for women in America to offer the rigorous four-year education that was already available to men at the time. Our founders, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, brought their internationally renowned teaching skills to Baltimore in 1847 to educate those neglected by society.
Today, they represent the world’s second-largest missionary group of religious women, with 3,600 sisters working on five continents. Their ministries include education, social service, health care, and direct service to those in need. They strongly advocate for education for all, human rights, care of the earth, and world peace.
