Early Education in Georgetown
The roots of Georgetown College go
back to 1788, when Baptist minister
Elijah Craig began an academy which
offered classical education ~ Latin,
Greek, and sciences. This early
school was in large log house
near corner of South Broadway and
West College Streets. Ten years
later, Craig's school was absorbed
by Rittenhouse Academy. It's assets
taken over by Georgetown College.
