context_page_description: The New York Workers School, colloquially known as "Workers School," was an ideological training center of the Communist Party USA established in New York City for adult education in October 1923. For more than two decades the facility played an important role in the teaching of party doctrine to the organization's functionaries, as well as offering a more general educational program to trade union activists.
  The Workers School was a model for local CPUSA training centers in the area and in other American cities It also provided the direct inspiration for the New Workers School, established by the breakaway Communist Party headed by Jay Lovestone and Benjamin Gitlow after they left the Communist Party in 1929.
  The Workers School was dissolved through merger in 1944, becoming part of the CPUSA's Jefferson School of Social Science.
