Information About

Thornton Donovan School




The Thornton-Donovan School was founded in 1901 as the New Rochelle School and Kindergarten in New Rochelle , New York. It was ostensibly founded by Judge Martin Jerome Keogh for his children, but eventually included the children of a number of family friends. The first teacher and head was Miss Emily Scott Thornton, a Philadelphia native educated at University College Nottingham, now the University Of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.

The School is now at its third campus, on Overlook Circle in the affluent Beechmont neighborhood of New Rochelle. It inhabits three former homes, including the former J.W.R. Crawford estate, now the Main Building. The third and current head is Mr. Douglas E. Fleming, Jr., a graduate of Columbia University .
