The NA Experience
The Newark Academy experience doesn’t end with the final class of the day. Our students and faculty are active and involved in learning within and beyond the classroom. NA students stay on campus to meet with friends, work with classmates, and explore new interests — from sports and the arts to clubs and special events.
In a typical week, an NA student might spend their afternoons involved in athletic practices and games, plays or musical performances, academic or special-interest club meetings, and tutoring and group studies.
Back-to-School BBQ
Each school year kicks off with the annual Back-to-School BBQ, featuring the highly anticipated Senior Chocolate Slide, a pie-eating contest, yard games, athletics contests and delicious food.
Community Art Exhibit
At more than 20-year tradition, the Newark Academy community art exhibit features works from students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and friends, all crafted with inspiration from a unifying theme.
International Dinner
NA families contribute their cultural dishes to a community-wide potluck. This event also features cultural shares and performances.
Spirt Week & Pep Rallies
Spirit Week at NA brings friendly competition between grade levels through themed dress up days, competitions, and themed video and mural painting contests, culminating in a school-wide Pep Rally and community-wide Homecoming festival.
Physics Boat Race
At the annual physics class boat race, students take an interdisciplinary approach — using math, physics, engineering and research skills — to develop a plan for a working boat, while being constrained by time and budget.
Stanley Cone
This annual floor hockey tournament began in the mid-80's as an Upper School tradition. It has since become a Middle School staple with the winners of the tournament earning bragging rights and adding their names to the Stanley Cone!
