John Watson’s Institution Home

These case studies are an opportunity to explore individual intrants to John Watson’s Institute in more detail. We reproduce their applications and accompanying documentation where appropriate, and attempt to answer the question of “what happened next”? with a discussion of their future lives and careers after leaving the school.
