Mission: St. Philip’s Academy seeks to provide a rigorous academic and moral education to elementary and middle school children of the city of Newark and its environs. St. Philip’s, a school in the Episcopal tradition, strives to create within its students a love of learning, an intellectual curiosity, and a sense of duty to the community that will enable them to make thoughtful and morally informed decisions throughout their lives. Leadership qualities are developed in a culturally diverse experience. The School exists to provide a unique educational opportunity for capable students, regardless of their ability to pay, enabling them upon graduation to be successful in the most selective secondary schools in the nation. We seek to provide a model of educational excellence, thereby contributing to the revitalization of the city of Newark.
