Greenwich Academy was founded by members of the
Congregational Church in 1827. Until the turn of the twentieth
century, the school admitted both girls and boys. T
hen, in 1900, a Greenwich Academy English teacher founded
the Brunswick School for Boys. In 1913, the Greenwich
Academy Board of Trustees formally approved the decision
to accept only girls in the Middle and Upper Schools, and
Greenwich Academy was reconceived as a day school for girls.
