The Browning School was founded in 1888 by John A. Browning as a college preparatory academy for boys.
The Browning School is a private school in New York City, with an emphasis on tradition, manners, and citizenship. It's a strict, all-male K-12 school, at which all boys are required to wear a blazer each day and to shake the headmaster's hand when arriving in the morning. Its class size is approximately twelve, making acceptance to its kindergarten class statistically competitive and on a par with Harvard's.
Currently, the school is under the headship of only its fifth headmaster, Stephen M. Clement III .
One of the first students, John D. Rockefeller Jr., recalled Mr. Browning as a remarkable teacher who "inspired interest in learning". He said that Mr. Browning "helped me to study and to concentrate.... I owe a great deal to him, more than to any other teacher I ever had".
