[edit] History
Located in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Providence, The Prout School was founded in 1966 by the Sisters of the Cross and Passion of Manchester, England and named after Mother Mary Joseph Prout, the order's founder. The school was originally an all female institution called Prout Memorial High School. The campus was built on a 212 acre property adjacent to nearby Wakefield. In 1981, the school became a diocesan high school, and in 1986 it became a co-educational institution and was renamed the Prout School. in 1992, following the 25th anniversary of the school, Prout became the third United States school to become a member of the International Baccalaureate Organization.
