 | For more than a century, Isidore Newman School has graced Jefferson Avenue in Uptown New Orleans. It began as just one building, and was founded to educate children living at the Jewish Orphans’ Home on nearby St. Charles Avenue. But from the beginning, the School’s benefactor, Isidore Newman, stipulated that neighborhood children could also attend. And they did. Quickly, Newman became one of the most revered and respected independent schools in the city. It remains so today.
A timeline highlighting the school’s fascinating history is under construction. |
| | The Isidore Newman School Archives was established in 1994. It seeks to protect, preserve and display the history and traditions of the school. Memorabilia, publications and photographs are welcome. Contributions to support acquisitions and proper maintenance of the collection are appreciated.
