History

edit

Newark Academy is one of several pre-Revolutionary War schools still operating in the United States and is considered the seventh-oldest private school in the country and the second-oldest day school in the state of New Jersey (behind Rutgers Preparatory School).[16] The Academy was founded in 1774 by Alexander MacWhorter, a prominent cleric and advisor to George Washington, and was located on Market Street in Downtown Newark. Newark Academy was briefly closed after it was burned by the British during the Revolutionary War. The school then reopened in new quarters in 1792. In 1802, the Academy opened a separate division for girls, but this program was closed in 1859. After 1929, it moved to First Street in the Roseville section of Newark. The Academy moved from Newark to its 68-acre (280,000 m2) campus in Livingston, in 1964, and became fully co-educational in 1971.[16]

Campus

edit

Newark Academy is located on a 68-acre (280,000 m2) campus in northern New Jersey.

The Upper School Academic Center, or the "New Wing", opened in fall 2012 and encompasses 18,500 square feet (1,720 m2) of new construction and 2,500 square feet (230 m2) of renovated space and includes 13 classrooms, two science labs, a multi-purpose area, several small-group collaborative learning spaces and a commons area.

The Wilf Middle School wing opened in fall 2017 and houses two floors of classrooms, laboratories, offices and common spaces that accommodate Middle School teachers and students. Classrooms have Apple TV technology and SmartBoards, which have since been implemented throughout the school. During the construction of the new middle school, Newark Academy also renovated all of the sciences labs, starting with the second-floor natural science and chemistry rooms, and moving on to the first-floor physical science room. These rooms, as well as the laboratories in the middle school, include lab equipment.[17] As part of Experiential learning programs, middle schoolers of every grade go on a series of trips/excursions at the end of the year, called "Capstone" to such destinations as the United Nations.[18]

The Coraci Performance Hall, which opened in summer 2020, is a 700-seat facility that has been rebuilt to accommodate the increased size of the student body for Morning Meetings and to provide a performance space for student artists that take the stage for dance, choral, orchestral, jazz, and theatrical performances throughout the school year.[19]

The Hawkes Memorial Library, opened in 1974, houses a 23,000-volume collection, and a periodical and microfilm collection.

The Elizabeth B. McGraw Arts Center, which opened in 1992, contains three studio art classrooms (ceramics, drawing/painting, and a digital media lab for film and photography that opened in the summer of 2022), a band/orchestra room, a choral room, a dance studio, a "black box" theater and an art gallery.

The William E. and Carol G. Simon Family Field House opened in 2001. This 57,000-square-foot (5,300 m2) athletic center houses a gymnasium with three basketball courts, a six-lane pool with a spectator area, a four-lane track and a fitness center. Wrestling and fencing gyms are located in the main building.

Newark Academy's outdoor facilities include courtyards with seating areas, two baseball diamonds, a softball field, an all-weather track, a field hockey area, two lacrosse and soccer fields, two football fields, one basketball half-court, a cross country course and 10 tennis courts.

Faculty and administration

Newark Academy's faculty has an average of 17.5 years of teaching experience, and 90 percent of the 92 teachers and administrators have advanced degrees; 14 have earned doctorate degrees.[20]

He earned an undergraduate degree in English and French from Georgetown University and a master's of philosophy in French studies from New York University.

Academic offerings

edit

Newark Academy offers a wide variety of classes across disciplines and at many different levels. Newark Academy offers many IB and AP classes, in addition to other college-level classes in Multivariable calculus, Differential Equations, Linear algebra, Non-Euclidean geometry, and Number theory.

Newark Academy is part of the Malone Schools Online Network, a consortium of 27 independent schools across the country that offers a selection of 46 classes available online in conjunction with one another, run by teachers at the member schools.[22] MSON offers many college-level and elective classes such as "Are We Rome?," "Creative Writing in the Digital Age" and "Positive Psychology."[23]

Newark Academy also offers an Independent Studies program for seniors. Seniors may elect to take a self-designed full-year course on a topic of their choosing. Students work with a faculty advisor, and often one other student who helped design the course, throughout the year researching the topic at hand and culminating in a final project. Courses in the past have focused on feminism, and American modern judicial history, amongst other subjects.[22]

Advanced curricula

edit

Newark Academy is the only independent school in New Jersey that offers both the Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB) programs.[24][10]

Advanced Placement

edit

The College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) offers high school students the opportunity to do college-level work. Successful achievement on the culminating exams may result in credit or advanced placement upon matriculation to college.[25] Newark Academy offers 4 AP classes (US History, Calculus AB, Calculus BC, and Calculus AB/BC).

International Baccalaureate

edit

In 1991, Newark Academy became the first school in New Jersey to grant the International Baccalaureate diploma.[26] The I.B. diploma is awarded following the successful completion of a rigorous two-year curriculum. 47 members of the Class of 2021 pursued the full IB diploma. Approximately 95 percent of the Class of 2023 was enrolled in at least one IB course.[20]

The program's 16 state championships are the fourth-most in the state and the eight ToC titles are ranked second.[38]

The boys' tennis team was the Non-Public state group champions in 1992-2007, 2009, and 2011-2021.
