On May 1, 1837, Episcopal bishop George Washington Doane welcomed52 young women from eight states to his new school, St. Mary's Hall, inBurlington, New Jersey. Bishop Doane's radical innovation of giving youngwomen the same mental training as young men motivated people from farand wide to send their daughters to this new school. Doane's visionaryefforts soon turned many heads and changed many hearts, and the schoolgrew accordingly. Today, as a coeducational school known as DoaneAcademy, the institution carries forward Bishop Doane's passion to pushthe boundaries of education. Located along the banks of the DelawareRiver, Doane Academy builds and instills character and a sense of duty intoits students and prepares and guides them as they move "Right Onward"to change the world.
