The Browning School is a United States college preparatory school for boys founded in 1888 by John A. Browning. It offers study from Pre-Primary level (Kindergarten) through Form VI (12th Grade). The Browning School is a member of the New York Interschool consortium.
The Browning School was founded in 1888 by John A. Browning. Arthur Jones succeeded Browning as Headmaster in 1920 and moved the school from West 55th Street to its present location on East 62nd Street. Extracurricular activities expanded in his time. Jones retired in 1948 and Lyman B. Tobin, a Browning teacher for more than 30 years, became Browning’s third Headmaster.
In 1952, upon Tobin’s retirement, the school named Charles W. Cook ’38, an alumnus and teacher, as its fourth Headmaster. Under his leadership for thirty-six years, the Browning School expanded rapidly. After a lengthy fund-raising drive, the school bought the adjoining carriage house and rebuilt it. The new building opened in 1960. The school’s expansion continued in 1967, with the building of a larger gymnasium on the roof, and in the late 1970s, with the acquisition of an interest in the building next door.
In 1988, Stephen M. Clement, III became Browning’s fifth Headmaster and served in this role for 28 years. John M. Botti is the current Head of School, having been appointed in 2016. Today, the school has over 400 students, more than double its size fifty years ago. Furthermore, Browning has completed a new library, four new science laboratories, two new art studios, and additional classrooms.
Browning is a part of Interschool, a consortium of eight schools to enhance academic, extracurricular, and administrative sharing, consists of four schools for girls (Brearley, Chapin, Nightingale-Bamford, and Spence), two schools for boys (Collegiate and itself), and two coeducational schools (Dalton and Trinity). Additionally, Browning enjoys strong relationships with both Marymount and Hewitt.
Browning has a highly selective admissions process with an acceptance rate below 10% students. Browning does not admit students for 11th and 12th grades and very rarely for 10th grade.
