The Shady Hill School: The First Fifty Years By Edward Yeomans Hardcover The Shady Hill School: The First Fifty Years The period between the two world wars was a time of much experiment and change in American education. Parents and teachers everywhere began to pool their energies and resources to start new, independent schools which embodied the ideas of progressive education. Shady Hill School, founded in 1915 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, was a product of this energy for change. Its policies reflected much of the contemporary thought about teaching and learning, but they also reflected the priorities of the scholarly community which sustained it. Nourished by these influences, and by a number of extraordinarily gifted teachers, the school became unique among the progressive schools of that period.
