1920s: A Time of Growth

Practice teaching and observation were added to the curriculum of the Department of Kindergarten Training and the Department of Primary Training.  Students were required to join one of the following activities as part of their course work: Committee Work, Dramatic Group, Glee Club, Gymnasium, or Orchestra.  By 1929, the Lesley School offered 75 courses for students in the subjects of Kindergarten Training, Primary Training, and Domestic Science.

The Lesley School's enrollment reached more than 300 students, both boarding and day.  Tuition rose to $200 per year, plus $550 for room and board.

The campus also expanded in 1922 with the acquisition of three dormitories and Alumni Hall, which was used for classrooms and an assembly hall.
