For a second I thought of getting married, having kids, just so I could send them to some of these local outstanding educational citadels…

I *have* been watching the gutting and renovation of the two story building at the corner of Clinton and Remsen for Packer with interest.

No doubt Packer and St. Ann’s are both amazing schools but when a friend showed me the college matriculation lists for the Seniors at each school, St. Ann’s was clearly a step ahead of Packer. Makes me want to have a kid some day. And get rich.

A step ahead for St Ann’s, if you want Junior to major in, say, puppetry, and not engineering

When it comes to private school, I suggest you do those things in reverse order.

It’s funny we used to call these, and especially the level Above this, “illuminati” schools. We also used to call the level Above this: “Saintgrotelsex” for St Andrew’s, Groton, Middlesex, et al. Also, patriots who have studied these institutions have discovered various schools supply different specialties to the overall control mechanism. We used to infiltrate and give out American Free Press’ on the Kent School campus. Boy, was THAT appreciated by the darlings up there….

The Packer Collegiate Institute: A Story of Education in Brooklyn

Introduction.

[Dancing at Packer prom], 1954

At an 1844 public meeting in the growing city of Brooklyn, a group of prominent citizens called for a new kind of school: one dedicated to the rigorous education of young women. While schools for young women already existed in Brooklyn, they failed to provide high school or collegiate-level courses. This new school would change that.

Following several more meetings and extensive fundraising, the Brooklyn Female Academy (BFA) was established in 1845. The new school welcomed students from Brooklyn and throughout the United States.

More than 170 years later, the BFA—now known as The Packer Collegiate Institute—continues to thrive and be a center of education in Brooklyn. But like Brooklyn itself, the institution has transformed over the centuries. Packer is now a coeducational school offering pre-K to twelve curriculum.

The story of Packer is more than the story of a school. It is one of social and economic transformation in Brooklyn and the United States. It is the story of the development of urban growth and institution-building, of the evolving status of American women, and of the changing beliefs about the nature of education and its role in American society.

Through the scope of Packer, we can learn much about the social history of the United States over the course of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Explore this site to discover these stories through photographs and archival documents that chronicle generations of Packer history.
