Academics

The tradition of academic excellence at Cardinal Newman is one of the primary reasons families have sent their children here since our establishment in 1964. Our mission is to educate the whole child, in mind, body, and spirit. Our academics are structured so that students graduate in alignment with the admissions requirements of the University of California and California State University systems. Our college preparatory classes include a diverse array of Advanced Placement (AP), Honors, and accelerated courses.
