East Greenwich Academy, Rhode Island, 1893




Above is a portion of the 1870 Beers Plate 19 of East Greenwich showing the Providence Conference Seminary. Click to see the whole plate.

A.K.A. Kent Academy, Providence Conference Seminary, East Greenwich Seminary (click here for the illustration part of 1867 letter), and Greenwich Academy. In Amelia Carter Kennedy's biographical sketch she mentions that she graduated from the East Greenwich Seminary in 1865. That reference, the piece of letter, and the rare mention of someone else graduating from the school, are the only places I have found Seminary.

The East Greenwich Academy catalog in the early 1940's said, "In 1802 Samuel Clark gave land to found a private school. This was the beginning of East Greenwich Academy, then known as Kent Academy. In 1841 it was purchased by the New England Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Under this administration the name was changed to East Greenwich Seminary and later to East Greenwich Academy. In 1841 the school was incorporated 'not for profit but for service.' Throughout the years of this service East Greenwich Academy has never lost a day."
