The Newman School

About

At Newman, we live our motto, “Heart Speaks to Heart.” Faculty relationships are the foundation of students’ intellectual exploration and personal growth. Our International Baccalaureate curriculum cultivates students’ abilities to think critically, ask questions, learn across disciplines, and develop research skills to thrive in college and become global contributors. Founded in 1945, located on Marlborough Street, in the heart of Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood, The Newman School serves students from grades 7-12 from Boston, surrounding towns, and 40 countries. We offer the only comprehensive boarding program in the city. Our students participate in activities and sports, pursuing their passions in the “education city,” and embrace Boston as their campus to engage in meaningful community service and countless activities. Students develop a global and community mindedness that enriches their ability to make an impact in the world. The warm and caring environment and small class sizes make Newman a place where students are seen and valued.

Extracurriculars

CITY AS OUR CAMPUS – Students experience the city through resourceful learning. They take advantage of organizations and institutions around Boston, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Public Library, The Esplanade, the Alliance Francaise, and several prestigious universities.
GLOBAL-MINDEDNESS – Through a culturally diverse student body, coupled with the highly regarded International Baccalaureate program, students develop a global-minded perspective. They explore ideas in depth, discover passions, create relationships, and cultivate a sense of purpose beyond self.
PARTNERSHIPS – Newman’s collaborations with leading institutions provide unmatched opportunities: student-athletes train and compete at The TRACK at New Balance, one of the nation’s top sports facilities, while aspiring musicians can take classes at the New England Conservatory alongside world-class faculty and peers.
