OUR HISTORY

Newark Academy was founded in 1774 by the cleric Alexander MacWhorter, a friend and advisor to George Washington. In fact, the Academy’s sympathies to our fledgling nation brought the wrath of the British who marched across the frozen Hudson River and burned the original building to the ground! Not to be deterred, the school rebuilt, flourished, and continued to emphasize its motto: Ad Lumen (Toward Enlightenment). From its beginning, Newark Academy was a unique college preparatory school in that it opened its doors to students from every conceivable background, offered courses in trade and business skills, and even opened a division for young women for a time.

After residing in three separate locations in Newark, the Academy moved to its present 68-acre location in Livingston in 1964. Newark Academy became fully coeducational in 1972. Over the years, the Academy’s footprint has grown-additions such as the Hawkes Memorial Library, the McGraw Arts Center, the Simon Family Field House, the Carol Heaney Nature Trail, the Upper School Academic Center and the new Middle School facility have provided remarkable resources for the entire Newark Academy community.
