The Foundations of The Newman Guide Standards
The Newman Guide framework is built upon 3 essential pillars of faithful Catholic education:
​
I. Catholic Identity - A Newman Guide school must be clearly, publicly and unapologetically Catholic in its mission, governance and daily life
​
II. Integral Formation - The intellectual, spiritual, moral and physical development of each student is pursued as a unified whole.
III. Fidelity to the Magisterium - All curriculum, instruction and culture align with the teachings and mission of the Catholic Church
Archangels Academy’s inclusion in The Newman Guide confirms that we embody these principles and remain steadfast in our pursuit of excellence in Catholic formation.
​
What it means to be a Newman Guide School:
