Class From the Past: Holiday Workshops at Fort York

Details

Step into the past and discover what school was like in Upper Canada in the early 1800s! Back then, only a few children could go to class and one-room schoolhouses were the center of learning. Who got to go and when did schools finally become free for everyone? Come find out as you explore the skills kids once learned; reading, writing, and practical lessons for everyday life. Try your hand at printing letters in a sand tray, then progress to writing on a slate just like real students did long ago. A fun, hands-on adventure for kids, teens, and families!
