Peoria School of Penmanship

The Peoria School of Penmanship was an influential American institution founded in the late 19th century that specialized in teaching high-quality handwriting and penmanship techniques. It offered courses to students, educators, and businesses, promoting the art of clear, elegant writing before the widespread adoption of typewriters and computers. The school played a significant role in standardizing handwriting styles and training teachers in penmanship instruction. Its emphasis on precision and presentation contributed to the broader educational and professional standards of written communication during that era.
