The Haverford School is a private, non-sectarian, all-boys college preparatory day school. The school was founded as The Haverford College Grammar School (1844). It is located in Haverford, Pennsylvania northwest of Philadelphia. It moved to current location (1903). The school changed its name to Haverford College Preparatory School for Boys. It is now known as the Haverford School because it has expanded and offers an educational program for boys of all ages. The upper school is what Americans call a preparatory school, meaning a private school for secondary-age boys, preparing them for college. The school is run like a British school with houses and an emphasis on athletics. In Britain the upper school would be called a public school and the lower school a preparatopry school. We have a portrait from the Phillips Studio in Philadelphia shoeing the senior class in 1945 (figure 1). The boys all wear grey suits and are appropriately pictured in front of the ivy covered school building. This was another British school touch. The school is still in operation today. The Haverford School today is a non-sectarian college preparatory day school, Junior Kindergarten through grade 12, which educates qualified boys of differing backgrounds. vThe school tells us, "We provide a superior liberal arts education in a challenging and supportive environment that emphasizes scholarship, leadership, citizenship, and high standards of character and conduct. At The Haverford School, we strive to prepare each student for life by developing his full intellectual, moral, social, artistic, athletic and creative potential."
