Adelaide opens The Girls’ Vocational and Industrial Training School in her family home in Freetown with the help of Mrs. Osora.  She brought her daugther on as a teacher for the school.The school opened to around 40 pupils but would later expand due to Mrs. Osora's help. Ultimately, her school proved to be a success and paved the way for women in
Sierra Leone. The previous culture proved to be patriarchal in nature, and Casely Hayford was able to shift the narrative to include women.
