Everest Academy in Lemont, Illinois Reaches Gold Standard Nationwide in Education

Everest Academy in Lemont, Illinois is thrilled to announce that it is now recommended in The Newman Guide, which is published by The Cardinal Newman Society, a national organization that promotes and defends faithful Catholic education.

For nearly two decades, hundreds of thousands of Catholic families have relied on The Newman Guide to help navigate their educational journey and discover faithful institutions that begin with the truth of Christ in all subject matter and form the whole person for God. The Newman Guide recently expanded so families can now find a seamless path of faithful Catholic education from kindergarten through graduate school, helping them safely navigate the many educational options available today.

“The model institutions in The Newman Guide have gone through a rigorous review for compliance with Newman Guide policy and curriculum standards, ensuring fidelity to Catholic teaching and the mission of Catholic education,” said Patrick Reilly, president and founder of The Cardinal Newman Society. “Newman Guide Recommended schools provide a faithful option for Catholic families.”

Everest Academy is among the first schools in the state of Illinois to be listed in the prestigious guide. As a Newman Guide Recommended school, Everest Academy stands as a model for other schools nationwide and has reached the gold standard in Catholic education.

While many schools and colleges are assailed by secularization, ideological pressure, and the loss of Catholic identity, The Newman Guide continues to recommend faithful options for Catholic families seeking an authentically Catholic education rooted in truth, virtue, and academic excellence.

The Newman Guide is named in honor of St. John Henry Newman, who was recently declared a Doctor of the Church and co-Patron of Catholic education alongside St. Thomas Aquinas. The institutions recommended in The Newman Guide fulfill St. John Henry Newman’s vision for education as the formation of the whole person — intellect, conscience, character, and faith — not merely the transmission of information.

The Newman Guide’s list of elementary and secondary schools is growing rapidly, as more schools seek the coveted Newman Guide Recommended seal and join the Newman Guide Network to connect with like-minded families and faithful institutions nationwide.
