In 2025, NDSM closed on a $10M NMTC transaction for expansion to its St. Florian site to continue to improve and grow services to serve students in their co-ed primary school and boys’ middle school.
Notre Dame School of Milwaukee (NDSM) is a Catholic school sponsored by the School Sisters of Notre Dame. NDSM is an English and Spanish bi-literate setting, where emphasis is placed on leadership skills, critical thinking, and social justice, while empowering students to make positive contributions to society and preparing students for admittance to a college preparatory high school. Over 97% of school families participate in the Milwaukee County Parental Choice program and qualify based on income.
The project allows NDSM to:
- Grow coed primary school on 27th and Greenfield to feed two full single-gender middle schools
- Move boys middle school to St. Florian’s site, freeing up six classrooms for primary school grade-level growth
