The Wofford Fitting School is one of those mysterious entities that causes an occasional question.
The Fitting School was a preparatory school that operated on the Wofford Campus and on a nearby campus for a number of years. It closed in 1924, but before then, it was designed to prepare, or fit, students for entry into Wofford’s freshman class.
The idea of a prep school or fitting school makes sense in an era where not every city or town has a good public high school and the college wants to be certain it has a good supply of potential first-year students.
