NOTE: Though the following city schools are technically not one room school houses, they were the pioneers of education in the cities of Saskatchewan.
- Classes were held in privately run classes as early as 1883 in the community of Moose Jaw, following the arrival of the rail in 1882. Meetings for the formation of a school began in 1883. Students in the North-West Territories during this era could attend the English Church Academy at Fort Garry, the Prince Albert Roman Catholic Church college or the Methodist schools in Victoria and Fort Edmonton.
- MOOSE JAW PROTESTANT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES was legally incorporated on December 5, 1884. Classes were held in temporary quarters -church buildings, the Brunswick Hotel lean-to addition, upstairs in the Foley Block, a lean-to additionon the Moose Hotel, the second floor over a tinsmith shop- until a school building could be erected. The PROTESTANT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 1 OF THE NORTHWEST TERRITORIES built a multi-room school, applying for a debenture April 2, 1889. School opened with two classes, the primary grades under Mr. J.N. MacDonald, and the senior pupils under Mr. William Rothwell. The name adopted was the MOOSE JAW UNION SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMBER ONE.1 As a union school, it could provide the standards to train teachers in the absence of "NORMAL SCHOOL" or UNIVERSITY, if the school had a principal graduated from a University and qualified therefore to train teachers. By 1901, the school is referred to as Victoria School, and in the spring of 1903, Dr. J.W. Sifton becomes principal of Victoria School taking over from Augustus H. Ball. Additional classroom space was needed, even after expanding VICTORIA SCHOOL to eight rooms, temporary quarters were found in many town buildings until additional schools could be built. The first public school kindergarten was initiated in 1906 at this school. June of 1968 saw the last classes held in VICTORIA SCHOOL.
- ALEXANDRA SCHOOL began construction in May of 1905, and was ready for classes the following year. ALEXANDRA SCHOOL assumed the duties of a secondary or high school, allowing VICTORIA SCHOOL to teach the primary grades. In 1907, a four room additionwas added to the school. A ten week Normal School short course was provided.
- CENTRAL COLLEGIATE INSTITUTE opened in 1910 assuming high school classes and a short course in "NORMAL SCHOOL" course work.
- PROVINCIAL NORMAL SCHOOL had the ceremonies for the laying of the corner stone on October 2, 1928, and the school opened in 1930. The SASKATCHEWAN TECHNICAL INSTITUTE opened in 1959 following the termination of classes at the "NORMAL SCHOOL" or TEACHERS COLLEGE.
- KING EDWARD SCHOOL came to be in 1906.
- CRESCENT SCHOOL, a two room schoolhouse, was open in 1908 on Athabasca Street and Fourth Avenue Northeast. In 1910 and 1912 both, another two rooms were added, bringing the school up to six classrooms. As well two other classrooms were held in nearby rented buildings. PRINCE ARTHUR SCHOOL was built to replace CRESCENT SCHOOL. PRINCE ARTHUR SCHOOL served as an interim hospital during the flu epidemic of 1918.
- EMPIRE SCHOOL was an eight room school completed in 1910.
- KING GEORGE SCHOOL opened November11, 1912
- SASKATCHEWAN COLLEGE was proposed by 1906 by the Western Canadian Synod of the Presbyterian Church. SASKATCHEWAN COLLEGE opened in September of 1913, and shortly thereafter changed names to MOOSE JAW COLLEGE. MOOSE JAW COLLEGE opened as a residential boy's school, and the plans to make it co-educational did not come to fruition. When the Presbyterian Church of Canada passed to the United Church because of the 1925 church union, the classes soon discontinued as the United Church supported the public school educational system. The school ceased classes in 1926. In 1939, the building was sold to the Roman Catholic Church and re-purposed.
