The Newman School is a private school in the Back Bay district of Boston , Massachusetts and was founded in 1945 by the late Dr. J. Harry Lynch and a group of colleagues, all alumni of Boston College. Naming their school after the greatly admired John Henry Cardinal Newman, the founders started out by educating young men returning from military service at the end of World War II, and gradually expanded to serve young men and women in their high school years. 200 students from over 22 different countries study at the Newman School. In addition to a traditional curriculum, The Newman School offers an International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme that students may take advantage of in their junior and senior years.
