College Preparation

Newman students from Pre-K through 12th grades are prepared for college. The emphasis on college preparation is also evident in the numerous honors and advanced level courses that are made available on every campus, enabling students to develop the rigor, knowledge, study skills and tenacity needed to be successful in their higher education.

 

The counselors and Coordinator of College, Career, and Military Readiness (CCMR) work specifically with the students to help acquire scholarships for college. Newman academy graduates are going to college this year with over two million scholarship! Enrichment class time enables students to gain tutoring and specialized training in core subjects, gifted and talented program (GT), leadership and community service program that colleges require, International studies and travel program, and SAT/ACT preparation.

 

Newman offers all the endorsement tracks recommended by Texas Education Agency, namely STEM, Career Technology Education (CTE), Business and Industry, Human services including medical track and law, Information technology, arts and humanities, and foreign languages.

 

Newman currently has partnership with higher education institutions such as the University of Texas at Arlington, Mountain View College in Dallas, etc. Students at the high school level are able to enroll in dual credit classes and gain both high school and college credit. These dual credit classes give college and school credit while still maintaining connection with the support system of high school teachers, counselors, and administration.
