St. John's-Kilmarnock School is a private, not-for-profit International Baccalaureate school located in Breslau, Waterloo Region, Ontario.[1][2]

History

In November 1971, one year before the opening of SJK, a group of people organized in St.John's Anglican church to discuss the opening of a local boys school. The next year, the opening date of the school was finalized as September 1972. The legislative assembly passed the St.John's School (elora) act in 1972 with royal assent.

In May 1976, the St.Margaret's school for girls was opened. In 1989, the boy's and girl's programs joined after the amalgamation of St.John's and St.Margaret's schools in 1985.

In 1988, a 36 acre lot of land was purchased in Breslau and the construction began on the campus later that year. The new school door's opened for students in January 1990, and the campus was officially opened in 1995.

Facilities have since been added to the Breslau campus to improve on academic and co-curricular activities.[3]
