Horace Mann School

| Children/Education
The Horace Mann School was founded in 1887 as a coeducational experimental and developmental unit of Teachers College at Columbia University. The Horace Mann School for Boys moved to Riverdale in 1912, and during the 1940's, severed formal ties with Teachers College and became Horace Mann School. The HM School for Girls remained at Teachers College through the 1940's. Since the 1970's we have educated boys and girls in Nursery through Twelfth Grade. Our main campus, home to the Lower, Middle and Upper Divisions, is located on 18 acres in Riverdale. The School seeks to foster a capacity in each individual for clear and creative thought. The School encourages students to understand that learning is a lifelong endeavor that is valuable in itself.
