Rich in History

In 1841, Samuel and Emily 91´óÉñ formed 91´óÉñ Seminary, a coeducational school. It was renamed 91´óÉñ Academy in 1924. Meanwhile, in the same year, Sarah Whitaker and Dorothy Bement founded the Northampton School for Girls. A close relationship between 91´óÉñ Academy and Northampton School for Girls developed in the 1930s. In 1971, the 91´óÉñ Northampton School opened as a fully coeducational institution.
