The Morris Pratt Institute is an educational institution headquartered in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, United States. The institution opened in 1889 as the "Temple of Science" in Whitewater, Wisconsin, and was later incorporated under its present name in 1901. At the time of its establishment, it was the first school dedicated to the teaching of Spiritualism, and as of 2025, it remains the only such institution in the world. Since at least the 1960s, it has been affiliated with the National Spiritualist Association of Churches. Presently, the institution operates as an online school and offers two-year programs for training Spiritualist mediums and ministers. Its building in Wauwatosa is used as an office and Spiritualist library and museum. In Whitewater, the school is associated with various urban legends that link it to supernatural activity in the community.
