We’ll keep promoting Newman Guide standards… with your help

Thanks to your generous support, 1,612 schools serving 434,390 students in 48 dioceses are now using The Cardinal Newman Society’s Catholic Curriculum Standards!

Back in 2016, most Catholic dioceses in the U.S. adopted the Common Core State Standards and claimed they had no satisfactory Catholic alternative. With leading experts, we developed standards for English literature, history, math, and scientific topics in grades K-12 to keep focus on Catholic education’s mission to integrally form students in Christ and transmit a Christian worldview.

Next year, on the 10th anniversary, we plan to update and issue a second edition of our Catholic Curriculum Standards. We’re also updating our Principles of Catholic Education, a synthesis of Vatican teaching on Catholic education. And a handbook of our Newman Guide policy standards is in the works, culminating years of developing guidance to ensure faithful Catholic education. Please continue praying for the success of all this work you make possible.
