Bembridge School was a British independent school in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight, founded in 1919 by social reformer and Liberal MP John Howard Whitehouse, set in over 100 acres (0.40 km2) on the easternmost tip of the island. Whitehouse intended for the school, initially for boys only, to challenge the traditional concept of education, introducing subjects including woodwork, American history and modern languages, long before they became mainstream subjects in British schools.
