Our commitments
To grow, learn and act for others
At Notre-Dame du Lac, education is not limited to the transmission of knowledge. We aim to form responsible students, attentive to others and fully aware of the world around them.
Solidarity, philanthropy, and environmental protection are thus integral parts of our educational project. Through sustainable partnerships and concrete actions, our students discover from a young age that every gesture counts and that everyone can contribute, in their own way, to building a more supportive and sustainable future.
A philanthropic culture
Notre-Dame du Lac encourages a true culture of commitment and sharing within its entire community. Students, families, and staff are regularly involved in solidarity projects, collections, and awareness-raising actions. Generosity thus becomes a lived experience, understood and passed on.
The associations supported by NDL
Eco-School
Engaged in the approach Eco-Schools, Notre-Dame du Lac raises students' awareness daily of major environmental issues. Waste reduction, combating waste, preserving resources, and respecting biodiversity: ecology is concretely integrated into the life of the school and in learning.
Hôpiclowns
For each registration for an activity NDL++, 10 CHF are donated to Hôpiclowns. This contribution helps support the interventions of professional clowns with hospitalized children and vulnerable people, making each registration an act of solidarity.
Nature & Renaissance Foundation
Our partnership with the Nature & Renaissance Foundation allows us to combine creativity, education, and respect for the environment, particularly through the colour pencil project. A concrete initiative that invites children to create while discovering the importance of preserving nature and its resources.
UNICEF
As part of its partnership with UNICEF, Notre-Dame du Lac actively supports actions taken for children around the world. For each contribution made to the Alumni NDL association, 5 CHF are donated to UNICEF.
Interventions are also organised in classrooms to raise students' awareness of children's rights, international solidarity, and the realities faced by children in other parts of the world.
Catholic association founded by the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Chambéry, Notre-Dame du Lac places respect, kindness, listening and a sense of service at the heart of its educational project. Faithful to our heritage, we support each child so that they grow in confidence, fully develop their talents and learn to put them at the service of others.
