School History & Details

University School, founded in 1906, and St. Michael's School, founded in 1910, merged in 1971 to form St. Michaels University School.

Both started out as boys' institutions with English public schools as their models. University School had a strong military tradition and was largely boarding school. K.C. Symons, who established the school and served as its leader until 1948, had a strong enthusiasm for St. Michael's School.
Both schools managed to maintain their traditions despite numerous obstacles until they merged in 1971. Their union, which we celebrated at our 50th anniversary, was a historic occasion that opened the door for astounding expansion. The school's conversion to coeducational status in 1978, when females were first admitted, was of utmost significance.
