    History

    The Ontario School of Pedagogy was established at Toronto in 1890 to replace the Training Institutes in Guelph, Hamilton, Kingston, Owen Sound, and Strathroy, which had been responsible for the training of assistant masters of High Schools and first class Public School teachers.

    In 1898, the School was moved to Hamilton and its name was changed to the Ontario Normal College.

    This institution existed until 1908, when Faculties of Education were established in Kingston and Toronto to take over this training.
