View source for Horace Mann School

The '''Horace Mann School''' is among the elite private schools of [[New York City]]. It is located in [[Riverdale]], an affluent neighborhood of the [[Bronx]] just north of [[Baker Field]]. Many Columbia students are graduates of Horace Mann.

[[Nicholas Murray Butler]] founded the school in [[1887]] as the experimental teaching laboratory of [[Teachers College]]. It moved to [[Morningside Heights]] with TC in 1901. The building on [[120th Street]] and [[Broadway (avenue)|Broadway]] is called [[Horace Mann Hall]], from the time when it housed the school. By [[1912]] the school grew independent of TC and moved to its current day Riverdale campus. Many former Horace Mann students at Columbia do not immediately draw the connection between their alma mater and the similarly named building.
