Reviews"When Trinity School opened its doors in 1709, Queen Anne ruled the American colonies from a palace in London, and the five thousand inhabitants of the small outpost called New York mostly lived in small houses south of Wall Street. There was of course no such thing as the United States, and Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Patrick Henry, and John Adams had not yet even been born. Much has changed over the past three centuries, but the mission of Trinity School has remained much the same - hard work and moral excellence. Timothy C. Jacobson tells this remarkable story with economy and grace in this first ever interpretive history of the institution."--Kenneth T.

SynopsisThis scrupulously researched, well-written and illustrated history of Trinity School, published to coincide with the School s 300th anniversary, closely parallels the history of New York City. From its beginnings as a charity school supported by the Anglican Church (after the American Revolution by the Episcopal Church) through lean years and the 19th century when the school received its own endowment and established its independence, Trinity presents a dramatic story that reveals much New York City history, educational history, and the changing fortunes of American youth. Located since the 1890s on the Upper West Side, Trinity has established itself as one of the city s indeed, the country s--top independent schools. The author highlights different approaches to leadership, changes in the school s constituencies, what it teaches, and the place of elite education in a democratic society. Alumni, students, prospective students, their families, educators, and historians, especially those with an interest in the history of New York City and of elementary and secondary education, will not want to miss this authoritative new volume.", This scrupulously researched, well-written and illustrated history of Trinity School, published to coincide with the School's 300th anniversary, closely parallels the history of New York City.
