Cardinal Newman College

Founded in 1948, the school is guided by the charisma of Blessed Edmund Rice and the Congregation of Christian Brothers. It aims to accompany youth in their harmonious growth as persons in relation to God, themselves, others, and nature. The educational approach focuses on promoting justice, peace, and Gospel values within a creative environment of responsible liberty.

The school offers a bilingual curriculum spanning from kindergarten through secondary school, with an emphasis on Economic, Natural, and Social Sciences in the upper years. The academic program integrates digital transformation, including programming and robotics, with traditional subjects. Spiritual and religious formation is a core component, complemented by a strong focus on sports, arts, and soft skills development.

The school prepares students for both national and international academic success, including Cambridge examinations, IGCSE, and IELTS. Graduates are encouraged to become transformative leaders engaged with society, reflecting the school's commitment to Christian values and academic excellence. The curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, entrepreneurship, and global communication skills to prepare students for university and beyond.

The school provides a comprehensive support structure through an Education Counseling Team and dedicated mentors. This team works alongside pastoral staff to support students' human formation and personal growth. Additionally, the school organizes workshops focused on prevention, training, and health to ensure the well-being of the student body.

The school manages an online application process for new families, which includes the submission of presentation letters and participation in virtual informative meetings. Following these initial steps, the school conducts individual interviews and group evaluations for candidates. Admissions are open for various grade levels, with specific timelines provided for primary school entry.

The school operates on a standard academic year, with tuition payments scheduled from February to November. The calendar includes various extracurricular activities, such as interschool sports competitions in rugby, athletics, basketball, and volleyball, as well as academic events like mathematics olympiads. Additionally, the school hosts pastoral activities, retreats, and workshops throughout the year.

Recent developments include a new building for the kindergarten, expanded primary school facilities with new classrooms, a multi-purpose hall (SUM), and an amphitheater-style terrace. Future plans include the creation of a 'Learning Hub' and the expansion of the dining facilities to serve as collaborative workspaces.

Students participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities designed to foster soft skills and personal development. Offerings include sports such as rugby, athletics, basketball, and volleyball, alongside artistic pursuits like theatre, choir, photography, and orchestra (flute, violin, cello, guitar).
