A Kennedy Education: The Schools and Scandals Behind America’s Most Famous Family

A Kennedy Education: The Schools and Scandals Behind America’s Most Famous Family Before the Kennedys became presidents, senators, ambassadors, journalists, and American icons, they were students. This video explores the schools that shaped the Kennedy family, from Boston Latin and Sacred Heart to Choate, Harvard, Milton, Miss Porter’s, Radcliffe, Brown, Virginia Law, and Andover. We look at Joseph P. Kennedy Sr.’s Harvard ambition, Rose Kennedy’s Sacred Heart education, JFK’s years at Choate and the Muckers Club, Ted Kennedy’s Harvard scandal, Jackie Kennedy’s time at Miss Porter’s, Vassar, the Sorbonne, and George Washington University, and John F. Kennedy Jr.’s years at Brown and NYU Law. Also featured: Joseph P. Kennedy Jr., Rosemary Kennedy, Kathleen “Kick” Kennedy, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, Patricia Kennedy Lawford, Robert F. Kennedy, Jean Kennedy Smith, Caroline Kennedy, and the next generation of Kennedys. A Kennedy education meant ambition, class, Catholic identity, family pressure, and entry into the institutions that shaped twentieth-century America.
