Charlestown Female Seminary
Charlestown Female Seminary was a Christian school in Charlestown, Massachusetts.〔 at Internet Archive〕 Opened in 1830, the female seminary was the second school in Charlestown for young women.
==Background==
The establishment of Charlestown Female Seminary was part of a movement to facilitate the education of young women that took root in the United States in the 1820s and 1830s. The movement started in 1814 with the establishment by Catherine Fiske, in Keene, New Hampshire, of the "Young Ladies Seminary."〔Emma Hart Willard opened the Middlebury Female Seminary in her home in Middlebury, Vermont the same year.〕 Another important early school was Emma Willard Troy Female Seminary, opened in 1821 in Troy, New York.〔
Charlestown became the site of a pair of what amateur historian Charles Zellner, of the Charlestown Historical Society, called the "earliest boarding schools" for young women. The first of these was the Mount Benedict Academy, a combined Roman Catholic convent and finishing school for young ladies, established in 1828 by Benedict Fenwick, Roman Catholic bishop of Boston. That academy was staffed by Ursuline nuns. Mount Benedict acquired a superior reputation, leading both Catholic and Protestant families to enroll their daughters there. Despite that acceptance, in 1834 the Academy was burned by an anti-Catholic mob.〔
