The Professional Children's School (PCS) is a not-for-profit, college preparatory school geared toward working and aspiring child actors and dancers in grades six through twelve.[1] The school was founded in New York City in 1914 to provide an academic education to young people working on the New York stage, in vaudeville, or "on the road".[2][dead link]
PCS was co-founded by Jean Greer and Jane Harris Hall when they learned that children who were working in entertainment were not able to attend traditional school.[citation needed] The school's premises were originally at The Rehearsal Club on West 45th Street in midtown Manhattan, and later at 1860 Broadway, near West 61st Street, on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Its curriculum and hours have changed over time.[3][4]
