Our Mission
Cardinal Newman Academy is an independent college preparatory high school dedicated to fostering academic excellence.
Truth & Goodness
The moral formation of our students is an essential element of education at Cardinal Newman Academy. Through this pursuit of the good, students attain true freedom: “You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:32).
Liberal Arts
Through their education in the liberal arts, our students grow in wisdom and receive the foundation necessary for any educational path or career.
Sense of Wonder
Through the mathematic and scientific disciplines, students learn of God’s creation and develop a sense of wonder about the natural world.
And in all our disciplines, our students are exposed to the historical, cultural, and scientific opportunities of our Richmond, Virginia location.
Service
This perfection is dependent on, and contributes to the well-being of, the community in which the student lives and learns. For this reason, service to the community is an essential part of our education.
