About Us

Notre Dame School is a catholic institution in Machakos Diocese, managed by Notre Dame Sisters Society, Kenya. Therefore the decisions of the governing body find the source in Christian philosophy and theology. Notre Dame School traces its origin to its spiritual mother, St. Julie billiard of France, who founded the congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Namur in 1804. Her charismatic spirit of finding God’s goodness in everything was handed over to our foundress, Sister Mary Aloysia Wolbring. She instituted the congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame in Coesfeld, Germany in 1850.  


Urged by the charism of St. Julie and Sister Mary 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, Philippines, Africa and Vietnam.

In Africa, the first Notre Dame School began in Tanzania, Njiro in 2002 after the sisters worked at Ngeranaro St. Joseph’s Secondary School for 9 years. In 2004 the second Notre Dame School was started at Mlolongo, Kenya. Notre Dame Sisters administer and give their services at Don Bosco Secondary School Shinyanga, Tanzania.
