Gaining Knowledge - History of Southwold Schools

The history of schools in Southwold dates back to before Southwold was incorporated. Early legislation guiding the regulations of schooling in Ontario was introduced in 1807. Schools in Southwold have evolved from numerous one room schoolhouses to the singular school we know today as Fingal Public School, showing that the history of education in Southwold runs deep.
