With our guidance but through the merit of the individual student, it is not uncommon to find Newman graduates in the classrooms of some of the nation’s premier universities and colleges.

Because the college process is an educational journey that culminates with a student’s years at Newman, we believe that it is a journey for the student to undertake and lead. Newman’s College Counseling Department is an ally and advocate to offer the appropriate help in getting our students into the schools of their choice. We promote the idea that students get themselves into college, allowing us to work with them to find the best match, not just the best catch.

At Newman, we believe best is a variable term that cannot be applied the same way for any two individuals despite the publishing world’s effort to do so. We believe that the process is not a game or a series of hoops; rather that it is a time of self-reflection and self-direction.

The Family Connection website offers a wealth of information to students, providing help in planning both academic and career options. Students can log on to the site to complete the College Planning Questionnaire, the “Do What You Are” survey, and the high school resume. The website is a great resource for researching potential colleges and majors and also provides updated admissions information, application deadlines, and much more.
