Saint Mary's University

Saint Mary's traces its earliest beginnings to 1802 when the Reverend Edmund Burke, later Bishop Burke, taught young men at the Glebe House, on the corner of Spring Garden Road and Barrington Street. The boys’ school grew first into a college and then into a university, never wavering in its commitment to education and community service.

  • 1841: Received degree-granting status by the Nova Scotia House of Assembly.
  • 1868: The Christian Brothers of Saint John the Baptiste de la Salle took over teaching duties and moved Saint Mary's to the Belle Aire Terrace off Agricola.
  • 1876: The Archdiocese took over from the Christian Brothers and moved the school to Barrington Street.
