Training school (United States)

In the Southern United States they were established to educate African Americans at elementary and secondary levels, especially as teachers; and in the Northern United States they existed as educational reformatory schools.

The southern training schools were supported by northern philanthropists, roughly from 1910 to 1930.

[6] In the south they often served African American students from a large area and were often named county training schools.

They had an agricultural and industrial training ethos and required support and cooperation from local officials.
