Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont traces its roots to 1851, when the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur founded a school in San Jose. It sits on a hillside campus in Belmont, which it sold to UC Investments in 2025 while keeping the right to operate there for up to five years. The university closed its undergraduate programmes in 2020 after concluding that a traditional residential model was not viable, and now emphasises online, graduate and degree-completion programmes for working adults. It is planning a new campus in San Mateo County. Prospective students should check current programme availability, since the institution is in transition. Stanford declined to exercise its option to buy the campus in early 2025, and the sale to UC Investments closed after final Vatican approval in September 2025. Water Dog Lake and its open space remain leased to the city of Belmont.
