Live in the heart of Boston. Walk to school. Build friendships that span the globe.
Located in the world’s leading education city, Newman is the only independent school to offer a true urban boarding experience in Boston. Boarding students live in Keefe House, a beautifully restored historic townhouse on Newbury Street in Back Bay—just two blocks from our main academic building. This exceptional location places students within walking distance of museums, cultural institutions, universities, shops, theaters, and professional sports venues, offering daily access to the intellectual and cultural life of the city. Dedicated dorm parents provide 24/7 supervision and support, ensuring a safe, welcoming, and nurturing home away from home.
Our boarding community is truly global, with students from across the United States and around the world, including China, Colombia, Dominica, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Japan, Lebanon, Lithuania, Nigeria, Russia, Spain, Ukraine, and Vietnam.
