General note

Biographical Sketch: Upon their arrival to Kingston, the Loyalists made schooling one of their top priorities. While the first school on the Kingston Peninsula was constructed in the heart of Kingston Village in 1787, education on the Peninsula occurred well before then with lessons being given in private homes before Parish Schools were built. Before the construction of Macdonald Consolidated School (sometimes referred to as Kingston Consolidated School) in 1904, there were 22 Parish Schoolhouses on the Kingston Peninsula. Certain schoolhouses on the Peninsula continued to operate following the construction of the new school, typically due to travel complications. Once travel accommodations improved with school vans, and MCS became a junior an elementary and junior high school in 1967, the last one- room schoolhouse on the Peninsula, the Summerville Schoolhouse, closed.
