• Classes were held in privately run classes as early as 1883 in the community of Moose Jaw, following the arrival of the rail in 1882. Meetings for the formation of a school began in 1883. Students in the North-West Territories during this era could attend the English Church Academy at Fort Garry, the Prince Albert Roman Catholic Church college or the Methodist schools in Victoria and Fort Edmonton.
• MOOSE JAW PROTESTANT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES was legally incorporated on December 5, 1884. Classes were held in temporary quarters -church buildings, the Brunswick Hotel lean-to addition, upstairs in the Foley Block, a lean-to additionon the Moose Hotel, the second floor over a tinsmith shop- until a school building could be erected. The PROTESTANT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES built a multi-room school, applying for a debenture April 2, 1889. School opened with two classes, the primary grades under Mr. J.N. MacDonald, and the senior pupils under Mr. William Rothwell. The name adopted was the MOOSE JAW UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMBER ONE.¹ As a union school, it could provide the standards to train teachers in the absence of "NORMAL SCHOOL" or UNIVERSITY, if the school had a principal graduated from a University and qualified therefore to train teachers. By 1901, the school is referred to as Victoria School, and in the spring of 1903, Dr. J.W. Sifton becomes principal of Victoria School taking over from Augustus H. Ball. Additional classroom space was needed, even after expanding VICTORIA SCHOOL to eight rooms, temporary quarters were found in many town buildings until additional schools could be built. The first public school kindergarten was initiated in 1906 at this school. June of 1968 saw the last classes held in VICTORIA SCHOOL.
