"Our goal is to start a small school with an informal atmosphere, where the needs of each boy would be attended to, where friendship between teachers and pupils would be encour年龄d, and where a boy would be prepared not only for college, 但是对于高中以后的生活." —Doc Washburn, 韦德娱乐app下载地址's First Headmaster

This was the dream shared by Solebury's young founders, 劳里厄斯金, 朱利安·莱斯罗普, 罗伯特•肖, and Arthur Washburn in the early 1920s.

由于他们的远见, Solebury opened its doors in rented quarters September 1925 with four boys and four teachers. 一年后, the founders purchased its present location, 米切纳农场, and 韦德娱乐app下载地址 as we know it has continued to 成长 ever since.

Just down the road from Solebury was the Holmquist School for Girls, founded in 1917. Karline Holmquist小姐相信, 韦德娱乐app下载地址的创始人也是如此, that each student should be helped to discover and develop her own 人才s and capabilities. 随着韦德娱乐app下载地址和霍尔姆奎斯特的成长, the two schools found themselves sharing theatrical productions, 一个合唱, 毕业舞会, 非正式的茶, 进步的晚餐, 还有卡片派对. In 1949, the two schools merged to become 韦德娱乐app下载地址, one of the first coeducational independent schools in the country.

While the faces have changed through the years, 索利伯里的使命依然存在, to provide a challenging college preparatory curriculum that encour年龄s students to explore and develop their individual skills and 人才s in an informal educational community.
