Michael J. Schafer
Head of School
Mike is energized by Newman and his return to Boston, where he worked for 15 years in school leadership roles at Belmont Hill School and Middlesex School. He excelled for 15 years as head of school at Kimball Union, strengthening curriculum, the student experience and increasing the school’s admissions and the endowment tenfold.
Curriculum & special classes
The Newman School offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program, providing intellectual challenge and a dynamic learning environment. The curriculum is developed in the liberal arts tradition embraced by John Henry Newman, focusing on deep inquiry, knowledge, skills, and reflection.
