Williams School (Connecticut)
The Williams School is a coeducational, college preparatory, day school for students in grades 6-12 located on the campus of Connecticut College in New London, Connecticut.
==History==
The school opened in 1891 as Williams Memorial Institute (WMI), which remains the legal name of the school. It was privately endowed by a bequest of real estate and personal property from the estate of Harriet Peck Williams as a memorial to her son, Thomas W. Williams II.
WMI served as the high school for girls of New London and several surrounding towns. Tuition for attending students was paid by the City of New London and other towns. With the opening of New London High School in 1951, the WMI program became college preparatory rather than comprehensive. In 1954, the school moved to its present location on the Connecticut College campus. A middle school was added in 1955. In 1971, the school became coeducational. The school remains a day school and the present student population of approximately 240 students draws from more than 40 communities (from West Haven, CT to Charlestown, RI). On April 25, 2013 the Board of Trustees of The Williams School approved the addition of a sixth grade to the school’s offerings starting in the 2014-2015 academic year.
The former home of Williams Memorial Institute now operates as one of the courthouses in the Connecticut State Judicial system, which includes archival postcard images and a brief history on its (website ). The building is also listed on Historic Buildings of Connecticut.
