Friends' Boarding School was an independent, co-educational Quaker school, founded by Moses Brown. The school first opened in 1784 at Portsmouth Friends Meeting House in Portsmouth, R.I., but was closed in the years after the American Revolution due to a shortage of teachers and students. The school was reopened in 1819 in Providence after Brown donated the land where it was built. The school was renamed "Moses Brown School" in 1904.
