My First School, A Cooperative Experience, provides a unique opportunity for parents and caregivers to participate in the education of their children. As a cooperative school, parents play a very active role. They comprise the board of directors, serve on its committees, and act as helping parents in the classroom under the direction of certified teachers. Both children and parents benefit from this interactive experience.
Each parent, grandparent or primary caregiver serves as an assistant to the teacher in the classroom. Each child considers this time to be very special and each teacher creates special jobs for the child whose parent is helping out each day. Your time commitment as a helping parent is between 5-10 days per year. (About once a month or two.) It depends on the enrollment in the class.
To learn more details about each of these programs as well as the days, times and prices, please continue to check out our new website or (516) 354-0138 to set up a visit. We look forward to meeting you, showing you how much fun we have at school and hope you decide to join our cooperative family.
Last September, my blog post discussed how Nashville schools approached school integration. Continuing with the theme of education, and working my way backwards, this month's post is about Nashville's first schools and first school system. And considering I'll be discussing bits and pieces of 5 different schools, plus how the Nashville public school system came to be, my goal is to keep this as brief as possible. We'll see how that turns out.
I'm not sure if the Davidson Academy in existence today has any ties to the original; it doesn't say anything about it on their About page. I am curious about this though, if anyone reading knows a definitive answer, I'd love to find out.
The Davidson Academy I'm referring to though was founded before Tennessee was even a state, and North Carolina was still in charge of things in this area. In 1786, the school was chartered by the North Carolina legislature, with Rev. Thomas Craighead as a teacher. Craighead was also Nashville's first minister. He was invited here by James Robertson and other pioneers in hopes that he'd establish a Presbyterian church and school.
The residents promised him 640 acres of land for use, and to pay him 50 pounds annually, for 3 years. So Craighead established his mission by mounting a stump and preaching to anyone who would listen.
Davidson Academy eventually became Cumberland College (with Presbyterian ties), which then became the University of Nashville in 1825. Phillip Lindsley became the president of the small school, passing up 2 other great offers. He remained with the school until 1850, when he resigned, having graduated 432 students.
Well, that's a loaded question, but the following schools today can trace their roots back to the University of Nashville, and therefore also to Davidson Academy: Vanderbilt University (the Medical School and Peabody College), Montgomery Bell Academy, and USN (University School of Nashville). Below, you can see a copy of a diploma from the University of Nashville.
As far as I can tell, and according to the book A Bicentennial Chronicle...Metropolitan Public Schools 1976, Robertson Academy was founded in 1806 as a part of the act created by the U.S. Congress, where the Federal Government ceded to the state of Tennessee certain lands with the condition that the state would appropriate 100,000 acres of this land, for the use of academies throughout the state. From that act, the state then established academies in each of the 27 counties in the state, at the time. Therefore, Davidson County opened Robertson Academy in honor of James Robertson.
When it opened, the first building was just a log cabin located on what is now Blackman Road, quite a distance away from the City of Nashville. That was the school's location until about 1911, when the trustees obtained permission to dispose of the old property to build anew. Four acres of the Overton estate was given by John Thompson for the new grounds, and the new school building was erected the following year. The school was gradually added on to over the years, with only the unfortunate occurrence of a fire in 1932 to halt the progression. But luckily, a new building was erected the following year, and it too was gradually added on to over time.
Those early years of its existence are quite interesting to read about though. The original building had about 4 windows in total - 2 on one side of the building, and 2 on the other side with a door. It also included a fireplace, though that pretty much goes without saying. I only mention it because the benches the students sat on (rough hewn logs supported by peg legs) were placed in a square around the fireplace, in several rows that reached to the back of the room.
Evidently, the school wasn't graded in the beginning either. They just simply read books until the material was learned. We have some proof of that in our collection, in the form of an arithmetic book owned by a student by the name of Henry Phillips, who studied at the academy in 1809. Check out some of the pages from his book below, and see if you could have answered some of these questions...
Even though Nashville had some schools and academies in existence by 1850, as demonstrated above, it was still deemed necessary for Nashville to have a public school system to help educate more than just the children of wealthier families. The first steps for the town of Nashville to have this sort of system, occurred successfully on February 20th, 1852, when the Nashville Board of Alderman passed an act "to Raise Revenue for a Public School."
I say successfully because it was not the city's first attempt at opening a public school; that was actually about 30 years earlier (in September, 1821) with the opening of the "Nashville English School." Due to the fact that the school only received the children of the poorer families, the Bicentennial Chronicle book says that because they were brought out in contrast to the children of wealthier families, "...their pride was wounded, as well as that of their parents." This caused fewer and fewer children to attend the school, and it eventually closed in 2 years time.
Before Hume School was opened, but after the act was passed to raise revenue, a study was commissioned by the City Council and conducted by none other than the school's namesake - Alfred Hume. He examined public schools in other cities and made an official report on August 26th, which became the basis for the Nashville's public school system. A few months later in May, 1853, the cornerstone for Hume School was laid on the lot purchased at the corner of Spruce (8th Ave) and Broad Streets. Also the location were Hume's former private school stood.
