|  | In 1910 a portion of the Rust family farm on Rust Pond in Wolfeboro, NH was purchased by George Robins, a teacher from The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, to establish a summer academic program. This acquisition initiated the ten-decade legacy of the Wolfeboro 'camp' school.
In 1977 the School was incorporated for nonprofit and reorganized by a small group long associated with the School and committed to perpetuating The Wolfeboro Experience. Included in this group was Mr. William Cooper, a teacher of mathematics on the Wolfeboro faculty at that time. Mr. Cooper agreed to serve the school as Director for one year. He recently retired after a 29 year tenure as Wolfeboro's Head of School and continues to serve on the Board of Directors, as Corporate Manager and in Admissions.
Under William Cooper's leadership, the academic mission became and continues to be: to teach young people how to study and how to learn. The entire program, academic and non-academic, is designed to promote the organizational skills and study habits which will support future scholastic success.
Happily, many things about The Wolfeboro Experience have not changed since its founding. The School continues to enjoy an exceptional lake-side campus. Located adajcent to the New England village of Wolfeboro, known as "The Oldest Summer Resort in America", the School is enviably situated to take advantage of the natural beauty and recreational resources of the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire, the nearby White Mountains and the New England seacoast.
It is the sum of these new and time-proven traditions and values that provide the "Season for Success" at Wolfeboro, not just for the students, but for the dedicated faculty who find fulfillment in returning year after year to make student success a reality once again. This is the experience that will be shared this coming summer by girls and boys from more than half of the United States and many foreign countries.
