Abstract
The article examines the vision of education sustaining Corpus Christi School, located across from Teachers College in New York City, between the 1930s and early 1950s, and Father George B. Ford's crucial partnership with the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa. The analysis is grounded in Quentin Skinner's theory of intentionality and reference to context. It addresses the relationship of Corpus Christi School with Teachers College and Columbia University and the school's distinctive features: its use of the project method, its social reconstructionist approach, and its way of "reading" John Dewey and William Kilpatrick. It discusses Ford's theological vision inspired by early Christianity and his ecumenical position, as well as his intricate web of political, religious, and social relations. Also included is a social network analysis.
