Findlater’s One-Room Schoolhouse: A Prairie Education Legacy

Uncover the history and heritage of Findlater’s one-room schoolhouse—once a hub of learning and community life on the Saskatchewan prairie.

The One‑Room Schoolhouse of Findlater, Saskatchewan


While specific details on Findlater’s one‑room schoolhouse are scarce, we know it was part of the vast network of rural educational institutions that defined the prairie experience. Saskatchewan once boasted over 5,000 school districts, each centered around a one‑room schoolhouse operating from the late 1800s until the 1960/1970s.

The school in Findlater spent many years shuttered but was eventually purchased, remodeled and privately owned. It has been attached to newer structures built on site and is part of a home.
