Browning School

Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRO : Browning School

Browning School was founded in 1888 by John A. Browning as a college preparatory academy for boys.

Browning School is a private school in New York City, with an emphasis on tradition, manners, and citizenship. It's a strict, all-male K-12 school, at which all boys are required to wear a blazer each day and to shake the headmaster's hand when arriving in the morning. Its class size is approximately twenty to thirty students per class.

Currently, the school is under the headship of only its fifth headmaster, Stephen M. Clement III.

One of the first students, John D. Rockefeller Jr., recalled Browning as a remarkable teacher who "inspired interest in learning", and that he "helped me to study and to concentrate.... I owe a great deal to him, more than to any other teacher I ever had." ^{[[Citing sources citation needed]]}
