This is the fascinating, comprehensive history of a preeminent New York independent educational institution. This scrupulously researched and well-written 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 (and, after the American Revolution, by the Episcopal Church) through lean years and then the nineteenth century when the school received its own endowment and established its independence, "Trinity" presents a dramatic story that reveals much New York City history and educational history as well as reflecting 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 discusses different approaches to leadership, changes in the school's constituencies and 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.
