Newark Academy

Established just before the Revolutionary War began, Newark Academy promoted enlightenment and inclusivity. Our founders believed that students of all backgrounds could be educated to become engaged citizens-a value that has been explicitly demonstrated over the last two decades. We enjoy record application numbers. Our students are thriving in a balanced program that combines first-rate academics with high-quality arts and athletics. New initiatives are reinforcing our historic commitment to diversity, to global citizenship, and to experiential learning. As a result, Newark Academy graduates have been transformed from promising young people to thoughtful, productive citizens who succeed not only in college but also in life. We fulfill our mission by graduating engaged individuals with a passion for learning, a standard of excellence, and a generosity of spirit. Because of this mission, our caring community, and our devotion to excellence, today's students both rise and flourish in our nearly 50-year-old facility. They shine on the field and on the stage and are excited by the possibilities new spaces offer. Though many receive financial assistance, many more will benefit when we increase our endowment from adequate to robust. Rise & Flourish: The Campaign for Newark Academy is about making an already wonderful place even better, honoring our heritage, and providing the best possible experience for today's and tomorrow's students.
