We challenge our students to be contributors to the Newman and greater communities, to develop themselves as life-long learners and leaders, and to learn to work outside their comfort zones. This takes place in an environment where each student is appreciated as an individual and supported by faculty members who understand well this developmental stage in the life of a child.
