Historia de la Escuela - School History |
|
| Robinson School es considerada la escuela privada más
antigua de Puerto Rico. Sus servicios se iniciaron en 1900, al establecerse
la Iglesia Metodista Unida en la Calle Sol del Viejo San Juan.
Inicialmente, la institución fue un hogar para niñas huérfanas, establecida en 1902 por la Sra. May Leonard Woodruff, miembro de la Sociedad Misionera de la Iglesia Metodista Unida. En 1904, George W. Robinson, un abogado de Detroit, donó los recursos necesarios para adquirir los cuatro acres de terrenos en la Calle Naim en el Condado, donde está actualmente localizada la escuela. A principio, las clases estaban limitadas al nivel elemental; pero eventualmente el curriculum se estendio para incluir grados superiores. La primera clase superior graduanda fue en 1947 con siete niñas. Para ver el censo de 1910 del Orfanatorio Robinson, pulse aqui. |
Robinson School’s heritage as the oldest
private school in Puerto Rico began in 1900 with the establishment of a Methodist
Church on Sol Street in Old San Juan.
Mrs. May Leonard Woodruff, an executive secretary of the Women’s Home Missionary Society of the United Methodist Church, began a home and school for orphan girls in 1902, only four years after Spain ceded Puerto Rico to the United States. In 1904, George O. Robinson, an attorney from Detroit and a member of the Board of Missions, donated the funds to buy four acres of land on Nairn Street in Condado, where Robinson School’s first buildings were constructed and where Robinson School stands today. At first, classes were limited to the elementary level; however, eventually the curriculum extended to include high school grades nine through twelve, with Robinson graduating its first high school class of seven girls in 1947.
