History

felton laboratory schoolThe Felton Laboratory School, originally known as Felton Training School, was established in 1920 as an outgrowth of kindergarten, which was developed under the guidance of Miss Sarah B. Henderson, an instructor of Kindergarten and Primary Methods. As part of the Department of Education, this program continued to grow as courses in methods, observations and directed teaching were added to the curriculum.

In 1924, a four-room building was donated by the joint cooperation of the General Education Board and the Rosenwald Fund for teacher education purposes in connection with normal course of study.

In 1964, with the expansion of the Teacher Education program, a new building was constructed for students in Kindergarten through Eighth Grade.
