Welcome to The Newman School…………………a unique place to learn As a traditional college preparatory school, our goal is to foster your natural desire to learn in an environment that will challenge your intellect and encourage the moral development of character and integrity. With an emphasis on academic excellence, self-discipline, respect for each other and service to school and community, students are invited to be active participants in their own learning, to ask questions, discover knowledge, test ideas and develop themselves as life-long learners. A necessary element of every community is standards to live by. In the spirit of true cooperation and personal responsibility, all students and families are asked to know and support the enclosed guidelines that help make learning and growing at Newman the exciting and rewarding experience it is. We are happy to have you here and wish you success for this new academic year. Parent-Student Handbook 2012-2013
