its inception, school uniforms have been compulsory at Collège Notre-Dame and must be worn at all times on school property. The dress code consists of a white or blue polo shirt and marine pants and/or a blue kilt for girls. Older polos might be colored yellow but these polos are not tolerated anymore since they are considered too marginal. The collar of the polo is coloured blue with yellow and royal blue stripes, which was the uniform until 2012. Since then, the polo is fully white, with a marine logo, and the marine polo now has white horizontal stripes. The gym uniform consists of a grey or blue T-shirt and a pair of blue shorts or cotton sweat pants; all have the school's emblem printed on them.

Teachers have recourse to technology whilst teaching: every classroom is equipped with a projector, a touchscreen board as well as a computer. An indoor hockey arena, which seats around 400 spectators, is located behind the school. Collège Notre-Dame possesses a grandiose auditorium. In addition, this institute has an indoor swimming pool, a football field, a soccer field, two fitness rooms, a race track and an indoor basketball court.

The school is composed of three buildings, the “Old Building”, the “C Building” and the “P Building”. All three buildings are five stories high. The C Building has two huge study halls, which are both equipped with desks. The rooms are used by the students during their study periods. Music Music classes are mandatory in grade 7 and grade 8. The class lasts 5 months, which equals to a semester and is then replaced by ERC (religious class) for the second semester of the same school year. Students can choose from wind instruments, percussion or double bass. Students playing the bassoon, oboe or double bass will benefit from one private lesson per week with a specialist, since those instruments are particularly difficult for beginners. Depending on their performance, they can participate in a music concert at the end of the semester. Every year, the different orchestras participate at the Festival des Harmonies et des
