History and Aims. Shenandoah Institute was organized at Dayton, Rockingham County, Va., in 1876
[actually, 1875], with small attendance and unpretentious claims. But the character of the work was such that the
public at once became interested and the demands were such that negotiations were immediately begun with a
view to the purchase of the property now owned by the institution, and more extensive plans were laid. In the
following year the State of Virginia recognized the corporation and issued the first charter under the name of
Shenandoah Seminary. A few years later, by consent of the legislature, the school assumed the name of
Shenandoah Institute, retaining the charter privileges secured under first name. Since its organization the Institute
has grown in favor and popularity with a number of states, principally throughout the South. It aims to supply the
best of instruction, by modern methods, at very lowest-possible rates. It successfully and popularly combines
ability, simplicity, and thoroughness with little cost to the student. It seeks to lay the foundations of a safe
education, recognizing the fact that college preparatory work is responsible work, and that to be morally good is a
condition of a healthy mind. Therefore, without sectarianism, it seeks to keep the Ideal Life ever before its
students. Wealth and social rank are small factors in the making up of a man. The Institute delights in rare
scholarship, but seeks rather the diligent everyday application to duty of all its students, than applause for the few.
In a word, Shenandoah Institute recognizes no rank but that of worth, and strives to lead each student in the path
to the highest height of usefulness and perfection of which he is capable.
Course of Study (pp. 8-12, 14-19). Students may choose such programs as Preparatory Year (where
required), English Course, Scientific Course, Classical Course, Normal Course (for would-be teachers),
Commercial Course, and Music—Voice, Organ, and Music Teaching. There are also special studies in surveying,
medicine, shorthand, typewriting, penmanship, theology, German, and French.
