The idea of supporting boys and individual learning profiles was hatched by Josephine Bauman Rudd more than 75 years ago. As faculty member, Mrs. Rudd initially sought to help boys with reading comprehension. Through her work, she became one of the true pioneers in the field of academic support.
The Rudd Learning Center is a well-established academic support program that has aided in the academic success of Salisbury School boys since the 1950s. Over the years, the program has grown to become one of the leading learning centers in New England.
