Families seeking faithful Catholic education can now order the 2025-26 edition in <a href=\"https:\/\/cardinalnewmansociety.org\/guide\/\">digest-sized print format or request the free digital e-book version<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Catholic families have relied on The Cardinal Newman Society\u2019s Newman Guide for nearly two decades to help navigate the college search and discover faithful colleges that begin with the truth of Christ in all subject matter and form the whole person for God.<\/p>\n<p>With this new edition, families can find a seamless path of faithful Catholic education from <em>kindergarten through graduate school<\/em>, safely navigating the many educational options available today.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We used The Newman Guide to find a college for our oldest son. I am thankful we did. \u00a0Knowing we can rely on The Newman Guide for his younger siblings to ensure faithful formation and a rigorous intellectual education is a blessing for our family and the entire Church, especially given today\u2019s culture,\u201d said Paul Pagano, a Catholic husband and father of eight, from New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025-2026 edition explains the importance of a Newman Guide Recommended education for the formation of young people in faith, virtue, and wisdom. It then recommends 28 elementary and secondary schools, 25 colleges, and 55 graduate programs for faithful Catholic formation.<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Salomon, vice president of Newman Guide Programs at The Cardinal Newman Society, says The Newman Guide\u2019s list of elementary and secondary schools is growing rapidly, as more schools seek the coveted Newman Guide Recommended seal and join the Newman Guide Network to connect with like-minded families and faithful institutions nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Becoming a Newman Guide Recommended school, college, or graduate program requires a thorough review for compliance with Newman Guide policy and curriculum standards, ensuring fidelity to Catholic teaching and the mission of Catholic education. The Cardinal Newman Society will work with educators who are serious about achieving Newman Guide recognition.<\/p>\n<p>According to Salomon, the Newman Guide standards not only uphold Catholic identity but also protect educators\u2019 religious freedom from legal threats and the influence of false ideology. While there are a wide variety of approaches to Catholic education, the key to The Newman Guide, as Pope Leo XIV says in <em>Drawing New Maps of Hope<\/em>, is to preserve the central focus on evangelization in fidelity to Catholic teaching and practice.<\/p>\n<p>The Newman Guide Network of education at all levels is swiftly expanding and includes the brightest stars in what Pope Leo calls the Catholic educational \u201cconstellation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To order The Newman Guide in print or request the free e-book version, <a href=\"https:\/\/cardinalnewmansociety.org\/guide\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To inquire about achieving Newman Guide Recommended status for a school, college, or graduate program, <a href=\"https:\/\/cardinalnewmansociety.org\/guide\/\">click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LINK TO PRESS RELEASE For the first time, The Newman Guide is recommending elementary schools, secondary schools, and graduate programs in addition to colleges.
