Hathaway Brown (HB) is an all-girls private school in Shaker Heights, Ohio, founded in 1876. It is also Ohio's oldest continuously operating college preparatory school for girls. The HB experience spans the early childhood program, primary school, middle school, and upper school.

History

Founded in 1876, Hathaway Brown began as “afternoon classes for young ladies” at the all-boys private Brooks Military School in downtown Cleveland. Its original name was the Brooks School for Ladies. In 1886, the school was purchased by Anne Hathaway Brown. During her tenure, Miss Brown changed the school’s name to “Miss Anne H. Hathaway Brown’s School for Girls” and introduced the school motto: nonscholar sed vita discimus (“we learn not for school but for life”). At that point, only women were accepted, and the school began to flourish.

After establishing itself within the community and constructing a new school at East 97th Street in 1905, Hathaway Brown moved to its current location at 19600 North Park Boulevard in Shaker Heights and prospered under the direction of other headmistresses, including Miss Mary Elizabeth Raymond (1912-38) and Miss Ann Cutter Coburn (1938-68).

Brown School is a private, nondenominational elementary and middle school in Schenectady, New York in the United States. It provides instruction for about 300 students in grades one through eight. It also offers nursery and kindergarten programs. The school's mission statement is "to inspire each student to love learning while striving for academic excellence."

History

In September 1893, Miss Helen "Nellie" Churchill Brown opened the Brown School in the front two rooms of her family home at 237 Liberty Street, with 12 pupils, age 8-11.

During the early 1900s, Miss Brown's School grew quickly and moved several times, to Park Avenue, 1230 Rugby Road, and eventually in 1906 to 1184 Rugby Road within the G.E. Realty Plot. A building was constructed on land donated by the Schenectady Realty Company, as part of its planned community. For many years, Brown School primarily educated children who lived in the G.E. Realty Plot. The area behind the school, an old quarry known affectionately as the "Dump", was the scene of Maypole dances, "Olympic Games", and ski lessons. Each winter the Dump was flooded and served as a skating pond for the exclusive use of Plot residents. The fire hydrant installed for this purpose is still visible today.
