Newman Oxford Scholars

Cultivating Leaders

Newman Oxford Scholars are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world. Inspired by the legacy of St. John Henry Newman, they are passionate about intellectual exploration and committed to addressing real-world challenges. Through rigorous academic study and symposium-style presentations, our Scholars develop the critical thinking skills, leadership qualities, and moral compass necessary to become influential thought leaders.

Like Newman during his time at Oxford, our Scholars are encouraged to engage with a wide range of historical and contemporary issues. By examining these topics from multiple perspectives, they gain a deeper understanding of the world and develop the ability to find innovative solutions.

Students chosen to be Newman Oxford Scholars are expected to:

  • Enroll in a challenging course of studies including Honors and Advanced Placement classes;
  • Achieve a cumulative GPA which places them in the top 10% of their class at the end of their junior year, students must have attended two years at CN to qualify;
  • Maintain the highest standards of behavior as prescribed by the school and affirmed by the Dean of Students;
  • Actively pursue co-curricular, extra-curricular, and service opportunities;
  • Serve as models for fellow Newman Oxford Scholars and for students in the entire community;
  • Participate in workshops and enrichment activities.
