    Historique

    The Alexandra Industrial School was founded in 1891 by the Industrial Schools Association, and was located on Blantyre Avenue, north of Kingston Road, Toronto. The amended Industrial Schools Act of 1884 allowed for their operation by private, philanthropic organizations. However, beginning in 1893 the Ontario government assumed administration of most industrial schools.

    It received the large number of girls who had been formerly held in the junior wing of the Andrew Reformatory for Women, near Toronto's King and Dufferin Streets. The facility was to be a disciplined 'model school' for up to sixty to a hundred girls, aged 14 to 18 years, from rural and small town urban areas.

    Besides a dormitory where the girls slept, the school consisted of classrooms, library, a large kitchen, and an assembly hall, surrounded by a small but intensive crop farm. The school was closed in February 1936, when it was amalgamated with the Ontario Training School for Girls in Galt.
