==History==
Nobles was founded in 1866 by George Washington Copp Noble, in Boston, Massachusetts, as an all-boys preparatory school for Harvard University. It became known as Noble & Greenough in 1892. During WWI, the school merged with Boston-based Volkman School, which had faced a drastically declining student population due to the headmaster's German origins. There is a monument to the Volkman School on the Nobles campus. In 1922, the school moved from Boston to its current location in Dedham. The Dedham property was previously the Nickerson family estate. The grounds were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.〔http://noblescastlestory.wordpress.com/〕 It discontinued its lower school at this time, though the lower school still operates today as the Dexter School. In 1975, Nobles admitted girls for the first time.
