History
"An Act for the encouragement of Education in the different Counties and districts in this Island" (5George IV, 1825, cap. V) allowed for the Lieutenant-Governor to issue a warrant for 50 towards the support of a grammar school in Charlottetown provided that the nearest clergyman to the school certified in one schedule the names and ages of the scholars taught therein, their dates of entrance, and the branches of education they were learning. The list had to have at least ten male students of the age of seven or upwards. This document was then to be filed in the Secretary's Office. Little more is known of the Grammar School which operated in Charlottetown although it appears to have been attended by the children of most of the prominent Charlottetown families.
