Organizer
I give to NA because of the great formal education I received while a student and I want to support the school in continuing to provide that caliber of education to future generations. I also give because I want to be engaged with NA on all of its equity initiatives, but particularly on improving the experience of black students.

I give because…NA’s teaching staff provided me with the tools and confidence I would need to succeed in the real world. By donating, I want to ensure that all current and future students have the same opportunities and experiences I was so fortunate, and lucky, to have!

I support NA because it is an investment in my child’s educational community. Especially with all of the additional costs related to COVID testing, NA needs the support so that it can continue to be an incredible environment for learning and growth for our children. Now, more than ever! We are so grateful we have made this choice for our family.

I have been supporting the annual fund ever since I graduated from NA in 1998! I spent 6 years at NA and my 3 siblings also went to NA!
We all feel a deep connection to the school and are grateful for the education we received and the friendships we made. We will continue to support the annual fund and we always wish the best for NA, the faculty, and the students!

I gave to NA because I believe in the school’s ability to build future leaders who are smart, compassionate and ethical and we need that more than ever right now!

“Why I love Newark academy? Do I have to say only one reason? There are many! But I will say that Newark Academy has been a place for growth for our entire family, not only our sons. We were immediately welcomed and encouraged to participate and be a part of the community. A place where challenging the standard ideas is welcome. A place where our sons are challenged to present new ideas and thoughts. A place where we as parents can be a part of the intellectual journey and continue learning through volunteering, seminars, and interactions with the NA community. What else could we ask for?”
