Poughkeepsie Collegiate School is situated on "College Hill," about 
half a mile north-east of the flourishing and beautiful village of Poughkeep- 
sie ; its location is unrivalled in beauty and salubrity,and cannot fail to attract 
the attention and excite the admiration of every lover of rural scenery. 
This school is conducted on philosophical principles. Reference is invari- 
ably had to the nature of the juvenile mind, and constant efforts are employ- 
ed to develope its powers in their natural order, and to preserve them in their 
relative strength. The domestic arrangements and modes of instruction are 
adapted to youth of every age, and they are instructed in such branches as 
may be requisite, either to qualify them for commercial life, or to prepare 
them for a collegiate course, and the attainment of a liberal education, accor- 
ding to the wishes of their parents or guardians. 
Those who are designed for commercial life, are generally taught orthog- 
raph}', reading, writing,' English grammar, geography, rhetoric, logic, mathe- 
matics, history, (in particular the history of our own country,) natural phi- 
losophy, political economy, civil polity, the French and Spanish languages. 
Those who are designed for a collegiate course, in addition to most of the 
above studies, apply themselves to the study of the Latin and Greek languages. 
The government of the school is supervisory and parental-whilst the^ 
strictest order is enjoined, such dicipline generally is employed, as may most 
effectually tenet to call into action the moral sense of the scholar. 
Persuaded that the instructions contained in the Scriptures are eminently 
conducive to the formation of moral character, select portions of them are 
daily read, their fundamental truths inculcated, and such familiar lectures 
occasionally delivered as may best serve toillustrate their moral and religious 
design and tendency, without having a direct bearing upon the peculiarities 
of any Christian denomination. Sabbath mornings and evenings are devoted 
to the study of the Scriptures. Scholars attend church at such places as 
their parents or guardians may direct. No pupil is permitted to leave the 
premises without permission. 
Rewards and punishments are of an intellectual and nioral nature, addres* 
sed to the understanding and the heart. Rewards for good deportment and" 
diligence in study, are the confidence and good will of instructors; approba- 
tion and love of friends and relations ; self government; rapid improvement 
in learning ; advancement to a higher class; and an approving conscience. 
Punishment for negligence and irregularity of conduct is chiefly-disap- 
probation of instructors; private and public censure ; studying during the 
hours of diversion ; removal to a lower class ; confinement; and finally, if 
incorrigible, dismission from the school. 
Strict attention will be paid to the health of the pupils, and they will be 
attended by a skilful and experienced physician, when necessary. 
To prevent confusion and loss, every article of clothing should be distinctly 
marked with the full name. 
Buying or selling, or bartering-also the use of tobacco, is strictly prohibited. 
The year is divided into 2 terms of 23 weeks each, and 2 vacations 3 weeks 
each. 
The Winter Term commences on the first Wednesday in November. The 
Summer Term on the first Wednesday in May. 
No pupil will be received for any time less than one term. 
Annual expenses per scholar are S230, payable quarterly in advance. This 
sum includes all charges for Board and Tuition, Books, Stationary, Bed 
and Bedding, Washing, Room, Fuel, Light, &c. 
Pupils entering after the commencement, and before the middle of a quar- 
ter, will be charged for the whole quarter.
