It serves around 200 students age 3 through eighth grade on an 11-acre campus. HistoryBrowne Academy was founded in 1941 as the first integrated school in Virginia.[2] At the time, it was named the Brownie School, which continued to be the name of the preschool after the elementary school became Browne Academy in 1975.[3] The Brownie School served preschool through third grade, and fourth and fifth grade were added in 1958. In 1986, a building was acquired to house the new middle school. In 1998, the school built a new lower school in order to accommodate more students.[4] In 2007, Browne Academy students won a NASA contest to name the Harmony module carried by Space Shuttle Discovery.[5] In 2014, Browne Academy added a sustainable garden program with the goal of gardens for each class and a composting system.[6] DemographicsThe racial makeup of Browne Academy's K-8 student body during the 2015-2016 school year was 53.4% White, 31% African American, 8.6% multiracial, 4% Asian/Pacific Islander, and 2.8% Hispanic.[7] ProgramIn addition to core subjects, Browne Academy students study art, music, and Spanish or French.[8] Class size is limited to 15 students.[9] Browne Academy offers extracurricular activities, including junior choir and taekwondo.[9] Students may join soccer, basketball, cross-country, and ultimate Frisbee teams. The school gives three character awards to students in each graduating class.[10] References1. ^{{cite web |title=Browne Academy |url=https://www.nais.org/school/browne-academy/d63ddbc1-32f9-e111-8924-00505683000d/ |website=NAIS |publisher=National Association of Independent Schools |accessdate=11 January 2019}} 2. ^{{cite web |last1=Peterson |first1=Tim |title=Mount Vernon: Browne Academy Turns 75 |url=http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2016/may/16/mount-vernon-browne-academy-turns-75/ |website=Connection Newspapers |publisher=Alexandria Gazette Packet |accessdate=11 January 2019 |date=16 May 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |last1=Gold |first1=Bill |title=Happy (Sob) New Year |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1978/12/29/happy-sob-new-year/7f6b1d50-bac6-4979-993e-8bd25f41aa6f/?utm_term=.a61c5df17568 |website=The Washington Post |accessdate=11 January 2019 |date=29 December 1978}} 4. ^{{cite web |last1=Strauss |first1=Valerie |title=THE PRIVATE SCHOOL BOOM |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1998/09/24/the-private-school-boom/3d01e08f-302f-4cb1-a394-23b102e8b21d/?utm_term=.6eae9ca758c8 |website=Washington Post |accessdate=11 January 2019 |date=24 September 1998}} 5. ^{{cite web |last1=Wall |first1=Jennifer |title=NASA - In Perfect Harmony |url=https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/k-4/features/F_In_Perfect_Harmony.html |website=www.nasa.gov |accessdate=11 January 2019 |language=en |date=4 June 2007}} 6. ^{{cite web |title=Browne Academy - The Edible Schoolyard Project |url=https://edibleschoolyard.org/program/browne-academy |website=edibleschoolyard.org |accessdate=11 January 2019}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=Search for Private Schools - School Detail for Browne Academy |url=https://nces.ed.gov/surveys/pss/privateschoolsearch/school_detail.asp?Search=1&SchoolName=Browne+Academy&NumOfStudentsRange=more&IncGrade=-1&LoGrade=-1&HiGrade=-1&ID=01433689 |website=nces.ed.gov |accessdate=11 January 2019 |language=EN}} 8. ^{{cite web |title=Browne Academy |url=https://www.vais.org/RelId/606561/AccountID/100/ISvars/default/School_Search.htm |website=VAIS |publisher=Virginia Association of Independent Schools |accessdate=11 January 2019}} 9. ^1 {{cite web |title=Browne Academy |url=http://www.ectutoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/Browne-Academy-PDF-Profile.pdf |website=www.ectutoring.com |accessdate=11 January 2019}} 10. ^{{cite web |title=Mount Vernon: 24 Graduate from Browne |url=http://www.connectionnewspapers.com/news/2016/jun/15/mount-vernon-24-graduate-browne/ |website=Connection Newspapers |accessdate=11 January 2019 |date=15 June 2016}} External links
