Welcome to a celebration of the One-Room Schoolhouse in BC!

In the 1890s, our province was a popular place for seekers of gold and new immigrants from all over the world. During this time, the one-room schoolhouse was an important part of the average growing community, and was a forerunner of today’s modern school.

Take a virtual step back in time and hear about the daily adventures of a student and the challenges of life as a teacher. Explore the picture galleries of schoolhouse treasures and see how the one-room schoolhouse grew and changed over the years. When you're ready, you can check what you've learned by taking some online quizzes.

One-room schoolhouses played an important role in our province's history and even now, can teach us all about our exciting past.

Welcome
