Notre Dame Academy is a Catholic institution managed by the Patna Notre Dame Sisters Society. Therefore all decisions of the Governing Body find their source in Christian Philosophy and theology.

Notre Dame Academy traces its origin to its spiritual mother, St. Julie Billiart of France, who founded the congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur in 1804. Her charismatic spirit of finding God`s goodness in everything was handed over to the Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Coalfield, Germany, in 1850.

Urged by the chrism of St Julie and Sister Aloysia, Notre Dame has established foundations throughout the world. The institution gives witness to God’s love by involvement in various educational, social and medical services in Germany, Italy, England, Holland, United States, South America, Indonesia, India, Korea, Papua New Guinea, Africa, the Philippines, and China.

The first Notre Dame School in India was founded in Jamalpur, Bihar, in 1950. At Barh, Notre Dame Academy NTPC was founded in June 2007. Today Notre Dame institutions are found in the states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, West Bengal, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, Jammu & Kashmir, Assam, Kerala, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
