History

The Newman School was founded as Newman Preparatory School in 1945, the centennial of John Henry Cardinal Newman's conversion to Roman Catholicism, by Dr. J. Harry Lynch and a group of Catholic laymen, for the purpose of providing college preparation to veterans returning from service to their country in World War II. Over the years, Newman Prep evolved into a co-educational, diploma-granting program, and eventually began to accept younger students into the ninth grade. During the 1960s, the school operated The Newman School for Boys as a separate four-year (grades nine through twelve) and then six-year (grades seven through twelve) college preparatory school. Walter J. Egan was head of the School for Boys during most of its existence.

Now known as The Newman School, Newman provides a liberal arts education to a diverse group of approximately 200 American and international students. The student body is composed of students from the Greater Boston area with 50 percent of them coming from the city of Boston itself. International students come from Australia, Brazil, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, Spain,. Switzerland, Thailand and Vietnam among other countries. [ citation needed ] The school provides dormitories for students, located down the street from the school building.
