| School for Young Ladies |
Location: 922 Spruce Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Opened/Closed: Around 1859
The only source I have on Miss Hale's comes from a February 1859 article in the Godey's Ladies Book entitled "American Schools and Colleges for Young Ladies." It's reproduced at a site called Accessible Archives:
PHILADELPHIA SCHOOL FOR YOUNG LADIES — We would again call the attention of our readers to Miss S.J. Hale's Boarding and Day School for Young Ladies, 922 Spruce Street. This school combines, in an unusual degree, the comforts of a home with the discipline and regularity of a school. The health and deportment, as well as the intellectual advancement of the scholars, have careful attention.

The Course of English study is thorough and liberal. A superior French teacher resides in the family, to aid in conversation in that language. The musical department is under the care of those qualified in the highest degree to improve the pupils intrusted to them; and all the other accomplishments are well and carefully taught.
922 Spruce is now a private residence.
