The Newman Guide seal is the hallmark of faithful Catholic education.
For the first time, The Newman Guide is recommending elementary schools, secondary schools, and graduate programs in addition to colleges.
Families seeking faithful Catholic education can now order the 2025-26 edition in digest-sized print format or request the free digital e-book version.
Catholic families have relied on The Cardinal Newman Society’s 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.
With this new edition, families can find a seamless path of faithful Catholic education from kindergarten through graduate school, safely navigating the many educational options available today.
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.
And we’re adding new recommendations throughout the year, including our new category of curriculum providers, so be sure to check out our updated Newman Guide lists periodically.
