60 Years of Excellence: 5 Reasons Families Choose
Cardinal Newman High School
For six decades, Cardinal Newman High School has been dedicated to helping students grow academically and personally. Recently recognized as Sonoma County's Best Private School for the seventh time by Press Democrat readers, here are five reasons families continue to choose Cardinal Newman:
1. Award-Winning College Preparatory Education
Being named Best Private School is an honor that speaks to the quality of our programs. With small class sizes, well-equipped facilities, personalized academic support, and a variety of extracurricular activities—like clubs, sports, and service opportunities—students have the tools they need to thrive. Dedicated teachers, college counselors, and wellness staff ensure that every student receives the guidance they need, all while maintaining some of the most affordable tuition rates in the Bay Area.
2. Academics That Go Beyond the Classroom
At Cardinal Newman, students build more than just academic skills. Programs like FFA and Model UN promote leadership and global awareness, and classes like AP Capstone and Research focus on critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving—skills that prepare them for the future. By encouraging creative approaches and thoughtful communication, we help students develop a strong foundation for college and for life.
3. A Legacy of Successful Graduates
Our alumni continue to excel in college and their careers, thanks to the preparation and opportunities they experienced here. Many return as mentors, teachers, or parents of current students, contributing to a legacy of connection and service that defines Cardinal Newman.
4. A Supportive Community
At Newman, families find a welcoming, faith-driven community where faculty and staff take the time to know each student. Whether through school events, performances, class retreats, or athletic games, there are countless ways to feel involved and supported. Students and their families become part of a tradition of faith and service that extends beyond campus life.
