Waters Normal Institute, originally Winton Academy and then Chosen Academy before becoming Calvin S. Brown School, was a school in Winton, North Carolina.[1] Winton Academy was incorporated as a "colored school" March 7, 1887, by the North Carolina General Assembly. It had 15 trustees.[2] The University of Virginia has a photograph of the school building and a couple of individuals outside.[3]

Calvin Scott Brown served as the school's principal until his death in 1936.[1] The school's C. S. Brown School Auditorium is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
