English Nanny & Governess School was originally located on the campus of Case Western Reserve University, in Cleveland, Ohio. It was relocated to Chagrin Falls, Ohio in 1992.

The curriculum consists of a three-month classroom instruction program that is accompanied by an in-home practicum program. Upon completion, graduates are awarded the title of "certified professional nanny" or "certified professional governess", through the American Council of Nanny Schools (ACNS).[3]

History

The school was founded in 1984, on the grounds of Case Western Reserve University. In 1992, it moved to its current location in the village of Chagrin Falls, Ohio. The school was the first of its kind in America, with a full academic faculty dedicated exclusively to educating nannies and governesses.[4]

The school was invited to represent the child-care and nanny profession at the Conference on Childcare at The White House, by the First Lady, Hillary Clinton.

The school has appeared in newspaper and magazine articles, including The Times of London, The New York Times, and W, as well as radio shows, and on television programs. The television shows include Good Morning America, Fox News, Larry King Live and Nightline.[5][6][7]

Academics
