  • Coffee Talks

    Join us for a relaxed conversation over coffee at one of our favorite local spots. Coffee Talks are a wonderful way to connect with current Newman parents, prospective families, faculty, and staff, along with members of our Admissions team. These informal gatherings give you the chance to ask questions, hear firsthand experiences, and get a feel for what makes our community so unique.

    Join us in Back Bay for a Saturday morning designed to give your family a real feel for middle school at Newman.

  • Middle School Visit Days

    Students visiting Newman will get a real sense of our community by attending a couple of classes, observing an assembly or club, meeting teachers, and connecting with current middle schoolers during a student panel. It’s a great way to see what makes Newman such an engaging and welcoming place to learn.

  • School Fairs

    Come meet the Newman Admissions Team at a school fair near you. We’ll be traveling both domestically, including visits to areas in and around Boston and New York City, and internationally. Stop by our table to ask questions, learn more about what we offer, and connect with our team.

    Watch this space for when we will be in your area.
  • Tour and Interview

    A tour is recommended for high school applicants and a virtual interview is required for all. Please register in Ravenna.
    The Candidate Profile must be submitted prior to your tour and interview.

    Campus tours for prospective high school students and parent/guardian are led by a student admissions ambassador. During the 30 minute tour, you will walk through Newman's two historic five-story townhouses, observing classes, and chatting with students and faculty.

    Should a student like to tour the dormitory, please let us know in advance at admissions@newmanboston.org

    Student and parent/guardian interviews
    take place virtually. The student interview takes about 25 minutes. The parent/guardian interview directly follows and takes about 20-25 minutes.

    For domestic or international families unable to travel to Newman, please email admissions@newmanboston.org to schedule a virtual tour and interview. 
  • Virtual Open Houses

    While we're excited to host an in-person Open House for Middle School this year, we understand that not all families can attend—especially those who live farther away. To ensure you still get a feel for our community, we’ve recorded past virtual Open Houses for all grades, including Middle School and Upper School.

    You can watch them here.
