History
My years at SVA taught me about independence, creativity and faith. After graduating, I was confident that if I worked hard, I could achieve anything I wanted. I also made lifelong friends and learned how important service was for a fulfilling life. – Rashana ‘94
For more than 140 years, the Sisters of Charity and our lay partners have educated young women here in Newark. Saint Vincent Academy has been witness to and participant in the evolution of the city of Newark as it welcomed successive waves of immigrants, moved from a manufacturing base to a corporate center, struggled to address issues of racism and civil rights, and embraced the early years of the 21st century with renewed optimism. Today, we play a singular role as Newark’s only Catholic, college preparatory school for young women, making a unique contribution through the commitment to service and community leadership that marks our graduates.
