== History ==
Leland T. Powers founded the school after teaching with the Redpath Lyceum Bureau, a chautauqua circuit business. While working for the bureau, Powers was assigned as a reader during chautauquas, and as a coach to other readers. Powers also edited scripts for usage, focusing on readability and performance. During this time Powers was an associate of Carl Sandburg.〔Tapia, J.E. (1997) ''Circuit chautauqua: From rural education to popular entertainment in early twentieth century America.'' McFarland. p 66.〕
In 1904, Powers' school cost $200 for a semester's tuition.〔Tibbetts, M.M. (1954) ''Random recollections: Commemorating the 50th anniversary of Leland Powers School, 1904-1954''. Boston: Leland Powers School.〕 Joining his wife and more than a dozen staff members in teaching 140 students annually, Powers had a building constructed in 1914 at 31 Evans Way in the Fenway neighborhood next door to the Girls' Latin School.
The School was credited with being on the leading edge of technology, when in 1944 it started broadcasting a show called "The Great American Home" on local station WIXG.〔Tuttle, M. (1952) ''A Guide to education for professional careers.'' p 36.〕
