Tourists rarely want to see a city’s schools. However, the origin of Saint John High School has the distinction of being the oldest publicly-funded school in Canada. It began as the Saint John Grammar School for boys in 1805. A separate girl’s school was founded in 1871. Co-ed classes did not exist until this building opened on Prince William Street in 1932. This ends your walking tour of Saint John. From here, you will see your berthed cruise ship less than a half block away.
