| Publisher Description: On May 1, 1837, Episcopal bishop George Washington Doane welcomed 52 young women from eight states to his new school, St. Mary's Hall, in Burlington, New Jersey. Bishop Doane's radical innovation of giving young women the same mental training as young men motivated people from far and wide to send their daughters to this new school. Doane's visionary efforts soon turned many heads and changed many hearts, and the school grew accordingly. Today, as a coeducational school known as Doane Academy, the institution carries forward Bishop Doane's passion to push the boundaries of education. Located along the banks of the Delaware River, Doane Academy builds and instills character and a sense of duty into its students and prepares and guides them as they move "Right Onward" to change the world. |
