Applying to SVA

In the heart of Newark, encircled by one of our most challenged cities, lies a school that has changed the lives of countless women over the past 138 years.

It's a place where an ethnically diverse mix of students has achieved post-secondary education rates of 95%, where school attendance is routinely in the 98% range, where deserving students from Greater Newark can experience the joy of a future filled with possibility.

It's a place of miraculous achievements.
And it's called Saint Vincent Academy.

"There are many reasons why Saint Vincent Academy gave me a great education. The biggest reason was the teachers. The teachers at SVA were always around to help us whenever we needed them. They had faith in us and encouraged us in everything we did. What I loved was that they taught us about the power of being a woman. At SVA, we weren’t allowed to settle for anything less than our best. Everything we did had to be to the best of our ability."
