Brookstone School is a private, college-preparatory school in Columbus, Georgia, United States. It was established in 1951.[3]
History
[edit]The school was opened in September 10, 1951 as Trinity Parish School by Charles Strum Nauss II, a former student of Grace Fernald. The original campus was at 2112 Wynnton Road ("the old D. Abbott Turner home" at Brown Road) teaching grades from kindergarten to 4th grade (plans were in place to expand through 6th grade), with an emphasis on learning through sight, hearing, and the kinesthetic approach pioneered by Fernald. Although the school was sponsored by Episcopalians, it was not restricted to members of that denomination;[4] but the school was under the control of Trinity Episcopal Parish and students were to receive religious instruction from the Rector of Trinity, Colin R. Campbell.[5]
