The School of the Prophets, held in the Newel K. Whitney store, was in session for only three months, between January and April 1833, and served as a missionary training center as well as a preparatory school for the later temple endowment. Sections 88 and 89 of the Doctrine and Covenants were given in relation to the School of the Prophets and its establishment. Many in attendance witnessed the visitation of both the Father and the Son on March 18, 1833. For the next three winters, a similar school was held, known as the School of the Elders.
