Title:: Thurston preparatory school

Collection:: Economics Books

The school is organized systematically, from Montessori to college. The students of the Upper School have a choice of schedule between the regular preparatory work, which pre- pares for the College Board examination, and a general course which prepares the students to follow special lines of advanced study after graduation. It may be said that the keynote of the school, from the first, has been individual development, although pupils are grouped in small classes. It is believed that such grouping tends to the development of enthusiasm and at the same time no child is lost sight of in his daily work. The aim of the school is not only to prepare its pupils for higher scholastic work, but to fit them for the responsibilities of home and civic life. A gratifying number of efficient women who are engaged in active work in the city, in business, in social, and in philanthropic effort, gained their early training in the Thurston School. The faculty consists of teachers of expe- rience and special training. Regular work in gymnasium is provided for and there is a strong student government srganization which works in harmony with the faculty. Official Staff—Alice M. Thurston, M. A., Principal; Marv E. Kendrick, Secretary. THE WINCHESTER SCHOOL One of the best schools for girls in Western Pennsylvania, and which has had a most beneficial effect on the womanhood of Pittsburgh for over a quarter of a century, is the Winchester School, which is located in the residential portion of the city. in the Shadyside district. The Winchester School, the Misses Mitchell’s School, began its operations in 1902, with 40 pupils enrolled. Its first location was on Braddock avenue, in the East End of Pittsburgh, but its continued growth made a more central tocation advisable, and within a few years the school was moved to No. 4721 Fifth avenue, where a fine building was erected for its accommodation. A large playground and athletic field, extending to Clyde street, aids in the outdoor athletics of the students.
