Manumit School

The Manumit School was a progressive Christian socialist boarding school located in Pawling, New York, between 1924 and 1943, and from 1944 to 1958 in Bristol, Pennsylvania.

Founded on purchased farm land by Rev. William Fincke and his wife Helen, it was formerly called The Manumit School for Workers' Children. Its teachings were meant to provide a progressive "workers education" slant during a time of increasing socialist optimism in America. Sarah Norcliffe Cleghorn worked there as an English and Drama teacher until 1929.
