Cardigan Mountain School History
| Cardigan Mountain School was founded in 1945 by two men whose vision and belief in their goal were unshakable. Harold P. Hinman, a Dartmouth College graduate, and William R. Brewster, then Headmaster of Kimball Union Academy, joined forces with legendary Dartmouth President Ernest M. Hopkins to obtain the land that is now the site of Cardigan Mountain’s campus. Cardigan Mountain School opened with 24 boys, and, in 1954, upon merging with the Clark School of Hanover, New Hampshire, the School as it is known today began to emerge. Since that time, the School has grown to its current enrollment of more than 200 boys, while the philosophy and objectives set forth by the founders have remained unchanged. Cardigan provides boys with a structured, homelike environment within which mastery of the fundamental academic skills, social and physical growth, and spiritual values can be encouraged. |
