Anyone's child applied to Newark Academy

<p>My son is in 8th grade and is applying to Newark Academy, Montclair Kimberly Academy & Pingry for high school. We are most interested in NA for several reasons including travel time. We are completely new to this process. Any opinions on what these schools look for? My son is an A student through out middle school but his extra curriculars are mainly limited to sports (soccer & baseball) & he's involved in one charitable club. I'm not sure if this is enough. Any advice on what these schools are looking for beyond this is greatly appreciated. We want to give him the best chance possible after studying so hard throughout ms.</p>

<p>I just sent you a PM.</p>

<p>We are an MKA family, so we went through this exact process 2 years ago.</p>

<p>Look at the Washington post high school challenge index for New Jersey. It has info on Newark, pingry and MKA .</p>

<p>Newark academy is the most challenging school in New Jersey .</p>
