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.

The school was founded in 1887 as the experimental teaching laboratory of Teachers College and moved to Morningside Heights with TC in 1901. The building on 120th Street and 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.
