The Newman Guide Now Available in Digest-Sized Print or Digital E-Book
By popular demand, The Cardinal Newman Society is publishing the 2025-2026 edition of The Newman Guide in a handy, digest-sized print format for easier portability and a free digital e-book version. Both formats allow The Newman Guide to accompany families and students on their visits to schools and colleges while providing the information they need to evaluate their educational options.
“The Newman Guide is often given as a gift to a parent or student. The digest-sized print format has practical advantages as it fits in a purse, backpack, or glove compartment,” said Kelly Salomon, vice president of Newman Guide Programs at The Cardinal Newman Society. “Of course, the digital version is always an option for those who prefer to have the information on their phone or computer.”
For nearly two decades, Catholic families have relied on The Newman Guide 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.
However, the 2025-2026 edition recommends elementary schools, secondary schools, and graduate programs in addition to colleges. This gives families 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.
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.
Obtaining a copy of The 2025-2026 Newman Guide empowers Catholic families to review Catholic schools and colleges with confidence.
