New Haven Gymnasium was a brief-lived boarding school for boys in New Haven, Connecticut, founded on the German plan by two sons of Timothy Dwight, Sereno Edwards Dwight (1786-1850) and Henry Edwin Dwight (1797-1832).
Henry had become an admirer of the German education system during two years study in Germany, at the Universities of Gottingen and Berlin, and following his return from Germany a prospectus for the school was issued in 1827, and the New Haven Gymnasium opened in 1828.
[1] The school closed in 1831 due to the poor health of the Dwight brothers, and Henry Dwight died in 1832.
Stiles French was employed there as a mathematics instructor, and following its closure joined the Round Hill School, which was also operating on the German model.
