Newton's dream partly came true as she began acting at a young age. Despite frequent film shoots and a busy schedule, she did not switch to homeschooling, though she attended regular classes sporadically.
“Every year I ran for school president, but few recognized me. My classmates probably wondered, ‘Who is Kathryn Newton? Does she really study here?’”
