Alumni Association

1881 – 1972

Founded in 1881, the Bordentown Military Institute operated as an independent military school in Bordentown, New Jersey, for 91 years. In 1972, it merged with the Lenox School in Lenox, Massachusetts. Bordentown/Lenox was in existence for only one year, however, closing its doors completely in June 1973.

In the late 1980s, the inactive BMI Alumni Association re-formed and began scheduling biennial reunions. Since then, the Association has grown in numbers and scope, thanks to a dedicated alumni board and extremely valuable volunteers. Word-of-mouth connections and the Internet have also contributed to its resurgence, as have numerous people who have stumbled on the Web site and have been “found.” Although the formal entity that was once BMI has gone, its spirit is very much alive.
