'''The Dictionary Project''' is a [[non-profit]] [[charitable organization]] based in [[Charlesotn, South Carolina]], [[United States|USA]], and was founded by Mary French in [[1995]] to provide personal copies of a [[dictionary]] for third grade students in the [[South Carolina]] [[public school]] system. It has grown into a national organization. To date - [[June]] [[2007]] - over 5.3 million dictionaries have been distributed to children in the [[United States]] and internationally. It is funded through individual donations and by sponsors who introduce the program in their local schools. All contributions are [[tax deductible]]. [[The Dictionary Project]] is registered as a [[501(c)(3)]] [[nonprofit]] [[association]] in all 50 [[United States]].

The purpose of The Dictionary Project is to provide [[dictionaries]] to students to keep to use as their own personal reference books. The project believes that a dictionary is an essential tool for a quality education and that a student cannot do his or her best work without one. A dictionary in the home serves as a resource for the whole family. It improves everyone’s [[vocabulary]] and it encourages children to learn more words. This organization seeks to provide dictionaries to all of the children who are in [[school]]. The program is typically implemented in the third grade each year.
The '''Horace Mann School''' (established [[1887]]) is a highly-ranked private [[University-preparatory school|college preparatory school]] in [[Riverdale, The Bronx|Riverdale]], a neighborhood of the [[Bronx]] borough of [[New York City]], [[United States]]. The [[Wall Street Journal]] ranks Horace Mann as one of the top four private schools in the United States{{ref|wsj}}. [[Worth (magazine)|Worth Magazine]] ranked Horace Mann as one of the top ten feeder schools for [[Harvard University|Harvard]], [[Princeton University|Princeton]], and [[Yale University|Yale]] in the nation{{ref|hyp}}.
 
== Organization History And Growth ==
The school was founded in 1887 by [[Nicholas Murray Butler]] as a co-educational experimental and developmental unit of [[Teachers College]] at [[Columbia University]]. Its first ___location was a building at 9 University Place in [[Manhattan]], but it was moved in [[1901]] to 120th Street in [[Morningside Heights]]. Columbia University followed suit soon afterards, moving northwards to its present campus. The name of the school can still be seen on the western-most building at the Columbia campus, named Horace Mann Hall. However, Horace Mann was becoming a school in its own right instead of just a teaching laboratory, and it became more independent of the University and Teachers College. Thus, Teachers College created the Lincoln School to continue its experiments in teaching.
 
The idea for [[The Dictionary Project]] began in [[1992]] when Annie Plummer of [[Savannah, Georgia]] gave 50 dictionaries to children who attended a school close to her home. In her lifetime she raised the money to buy 17,000 dictionaries for children in [[Savannah, Georgia]]. Annie Plummer died [[December 23]], [[1999]], but her dream did not die with her. She inspired the creation of [[The Dictionary Project]], a nonprofit organization.
Shedding its co-educational roots, the school split into separate all-male and all-female schools. In [[1912]], the Boys' School moved to 246th Street in the [[Riverdale, The Bronx|Riverdale]] section of the [[Bronx]], and during the 1940's it severed formal ties with Teachers College and became Horace Mann School. The Girls' School merged with the Lincoln School in [[1940]], and then finally closed in [[1946]].
 
[[The Dictionary Project]] was created in [[1995]] as a [[501(c)(3)]] [[nonprofit]] organization based in [[Charleston, South Carolina.]] Its original goal was to provide dictionaries to third graders in the public schools in the three [[counties]] surrounding [[Charleston]], and this was accomplished in the 1995-96 [[school year]] and every year since. In 2001 the project was expanded to cover the third graders in all of [[South Carolina]]’s [[public schools]].
The New York School for Nursery Years (founded in 1954 on 90th Street) became the Horace Mann School for Nursery Years in 1968. In [[1972]], Horace Mann merged with the nearby Barnard School to form the Horace Mann-Barnard Lower School for [[kindergarten]] through [[sixth grade|grade six]], located on the former Barnard School campus. In [[1975]], the Horace Mann School returned to its roots as a co-educational learning environment and began admitting women to the Upper School. In [[1999]], the sixth grade moved from the Horace Mann-Barnard campus to the main 246th Street campus and formed a distinct Middle School along with the [[seventh grade|seventh]] and [[eighth grade]]s.
 
The project grew tremendously after it was featured in an article on the front page of [[''The Wall Street Journal'']] on [[March 4]], [[2002]] <ref name="Wall Street Journal Article">

|date=March 4, 2002</ref> This coverage brought national attention to the project and its founders, Mary and Arno French. As a result, individuals and groups from across the United States became involved with [[The Dictionary Project]] and sponsored the donation of dictionaries to children in their local schools.
 
The project continues to expand and now includes sponsors in all fifty [[United States]], [[Puerto Rico]], the [[US Virgin Islands]], and several other countries. The program has been adopted by [[civic organization]] and adapted to local communities through the sponsorship of [[Rotary Clubs]], [[BPO Elks]], [[Kiwanis Clubs]], [[Granges]], [[TelecomPioneers]] groups, [[Lions Clubs]], the [[Republican Federation of Women]], by educational groups such as [[PTAs]], and by individuals. Anyone can participate in this project by sponsoring a program to provide dictionaries to children in their community.
[[Image:horrace.jpg|frame|Horace Mann's New Library & Theater Building, located in the Upper Division]]
 
== Sponsorship ==
Thus, there are now four divisions of the school, all co-educational: a Nursery Division located on 90th Street in Manhattan, a Lower Division on the Horace Mann campus on Tibbett Avenue in Riverdale (kindergarten through fifth grade), a Middle Division on the 246th Street campus in Riverdale (sixth through eighth grades), and an Upper Division also on the 246th Street campus (ninth through twelfth grades). There is also the John Dorr Nature Laboratory, located on 100 acres in [[Washington, Connecticut]], used for extended field trips for classes of students starting in fourth grade and an orientation program for new students entering the High School.
 
Each division of the school has its own Division Head and the Middle and Upper Schools have separate student government organizations. The entire school is overseen by a Head of School. The current Head is Dr. Thomas M. Kelly, who was appointed ninth Head of School, effective July 1, 2005, succeeding Dr. Eileen Mullady, formerly of [[Princeton University]] and the [[Lawrenceville School]], in whose honor the school named one of its new buildings. Prior to Dr. Mullady, the long-standing Head was the late [[R. Inslee Clark, Jr.]], previously Dean of Admissions at [[Yale University]]. Dr. Kelly previously served as [[Superintendent (education)|Superintendent]] of Schools in Valhalla, NY. The current Horace Mann Nursery Division Head is Patricia Zuroski, the current Lower Division Head is Dr. Steven B. Tobolsky, the current Middle Division Head is Robin Ann Ingram, and the current Upper Division Interim Head is Dr. Barbara Tischler. Glenn Sherratt is the current Director of the John Dorr Nature Laboratory.
 
Anyone can sponsor a project. Organizations and donors carry out their own [[fund-raising]] activities, and then sponsor the donation of books in the schools or area they choose. The project asks its sponsors to commit time to deliver the dictionaries to the children in person and make a short [[presentation]] that shows them how to use the dictionaries. This brief visit lets the children know that there are people in their community who are interested in their education and want to see them succeed.
==Admission==
 
== Statistics ==
Admission to Horace Mann is highly selective. Decisions are based on an applicant's recent grades, an interview, and the candidate's score on either the [[Independent School Entrance Exam|ISEE]] or [[Secondary School Admissions Test|SSAT]] test.
 
Sixth grade is Horace Mann's largest entry point, with between 50 and 55 places available each year. In the ninth grade, Horace Mann traditionally enrolls between 35 and 45 new students. In the seventh grade, 20 students are usually taken. A smaller number of students are accepted in other grades. The admissions office maintains a substantial waiting list.
 
The project has grown dramatically since its beginning in 1995. Over 5.3 [[million]] books have been donated.
==Academics==
Horace Mann is known for its academic rigor. The school offers 20 Advanced Placement courses and 9 foreign languages. Its 220 faculty members hold 210 master's degrees and 25 doctoral degrees.
 
Below are the figures for the number of dictionaries given to children in the past three years.
Students in the Upper Division are required to study English, Atlantic World History, United States History, Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics, Geometry, Algebra II and Trigonometry, and meet various requirements in the Arts, Computer Science, Health & Counseling, and Physical Education. Students must go beyond these basic requirements in at least some, if not all, subjects. They are also required to take at least three years of either French, German, Japanese, Latin, or Spanish. Additional classes in Greek, Italian, and Russian are offered. Starting in the 2006-07 academic year, Mandarin will be offered.

==Co-Curricular Activities==
===School newspaper===
''The Record'', established in 1903, is the weekly, student-run newspaper of the Horace Mann School. Throughout its history, ''The Record'' has won national journalism awards and has been staffed by students who went on to become distinguished journalists and authors, including [[Anthony Lewis]] (class of 1944), [[Richard Kluger]] (class of 1952) and [[Robert Caro]] (class of 1953).
 
*invitations to speak at conventions for [[Rotary International]], the [[National Grange]], and the TelecomPioneers.
In 1954, Horace Mann made national headlines for translating a copy of ''The Record'' into [[Russian (language)|Russian]] and distributing it in the [[USSR]]. The purpose of the exercise was to show Russian schoolchildren what life in America was like. The staff purposely kept in an article about the Horace Mann soccer team losing one of their games to demonstrate the operation of an independent [[free press]].{{ref|record}}
 
In addition, sponsors who have implemented the project have been recognized:
The [[American Scholastic Press Association]] twice honored ''The Record'' as the "Best High School Weekly Newspaper" for 2001-2002 (Volume 99) and 2003-2004 (Volume 101). ''The Record'' is published every Friday during the academic year, and can be accessed online [http://web.horacemann.org/record/ here].
 
*The California Dictionary Project received a [[Silicon Valley]] Impact Grant from the [[Cisco Foundation]].
===Student government===
The main body of student government is the Governing Council (GC), made up of students and teachers. There are five full time 12th grade representatives, and one alternate, while in grades 9-11, there are five full time representatives and two alternates. Because there are significantly fewer faculty members, each voting faculty representative is granted two votes. Over the years the Council has removed the once-strict dress code, instituted an honor code, begun a debit card system to pay for items at the cafeteria and bookstore, and revised the school's constitution.
 
*Mr. and Mrs. Ormonde and Margaret Smith received the Gold Award from the Texas Association of Partners in Education.
===Model UN===
[[Image:160px-Sealcopy.jpg|right|Horace Mann MUN Club]]
The school has an active and successful [[Model UN]] team. The team usually attends three or four away conferences a year. Its most recent victory was "Best Large Delegation" at the Ivy League Model United Nations Conference, hosted by the [[University of Pennsylvania]], its fifth first place finish there in six years. The team also organizes and hosts its own conference - Horace Mann Model United Nations Conference - (HoMMUNC). Horace Mann's most recent victory at the [[Harvard]] Model UN Conference was in 2003, when HM also won the Princeton and Penn conferences.
 
*The Rotary Clubs of Arizona were commended by Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano for their participation in The Dictionary Project.
===The Junior State of America===
The [[Junior State of America]] is the nation's largest student-run organization, with more than 20,000 students participating nationwide. Horace Mann competes in the Northeastern state, which includes all of [[New England]] and [[Downstate New York]]. Horace Mann students are frequently elected to one of four possible offices - Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Mayor, Vice-Mayor - or appointed by an elected official to serve on the Junior State Cabinet.

They have now won the league championship three consecutive years (04-06), also for the first time in the history of the league.
 
== International Projects ==
==The "Ivy League"==
Horace Mann School is a part of the [[Ivy Preparatory School League]].
[[The Fieldston School | Fieldston]], [[Riverdale Country School | Riverdale]], and Horace Mann together are known as the "hilltop schools," as all three are located within two miles of each other in the [[Riverdale, The Bronx | Riverdale]] section of the Bronx, on a hilly area above [[Van Cortlandt Park]]. The three also share perhaps the greatest amount of inter-school sports rivalry; Horace Mann's annual charity basketball game, the Buzzell Game, is almost always against either Fieldston or Riverdale.
 
==Miscellaneous==
The school's motto is "Magna est veritas et prævalet", meaning "Great is the truth, and it prevails". It comes from the King James version of the [[Old Testament]], which is usually translated today as "Magna est veritas et ''prævalebit''", or ''will'' prevail. The school mascot is a lion, possibly a holdover from the days when the school was associated with Columbia University, whose mascot is also a lion. The Varsity Swim Team has adopted the Sealion as their unofficial mascot. The school colors are maroon and white.
 
All students are required to take American Red Cross CPR certification in order to graduate. Horace Mann students are also required to complete at least 80 hours of community service; 40 hours in ninth and tenth grades and 40 hours in eleventh and twelfth. In eighth grade, one out-of-school project or three in-school projects are necessary for graduation to the ninth grade; in sixth and seventh grades a homeroom project is done cooperatively. In the Lower School, there is no requirement, but there is a "Caring-in-Action Day" in December, which all Lower School families may attend, and visit local shelters to help out for a few hours.
 
In the past year, [[The Dictionary Project]] has been receiving interest from international organizations wishing to expand the program overseas, as well as from US-based organizations who want to contribute to improving the education of school children in foreign and [[developing countries]] through the use of the [[English language]]. They hope to distribute more dictionaries to children outside of the United States in the coming years.
Several films have been shot on the Horace Mann campus over the years, including ''[[Splendor in the Grass]]'' and ''The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love''.
