Moses Brown School is a highly selective Quaker school located in Providence, Rhode Island offering pre-kindergarten through secondary school classes. It was founded in 1784 by Moses Brown, a Quaker abolitionist, and is the 8th oldest preparatory school in the country . The school motto is “For the Honor of Truth” and the school song is "Beneath the Elms," a reference to the large grove of elm trees that still surrounds the school to this day.
Moses Brown (1738–1836) was a member of the Brown family, a powerful mercantile family of New England, a co-founder of Brown University, and a New England abolitionist and industrialist. He went on to become a pioneering advocate of abolition of slavery in the United States.
