Coventry SD 213 North West Territories , was one of the first one room schools started in 1891. Hipperholme SD 467 North West Territories soon followed in 1899. Many more one room school districts soon followed in the early 1900's to survive until the mid 20th century when they were gradually replaced with the Briercrest Family of Schools.

Although originally founded in the town of Briercrest in 1935 , Briercrest College (originally Briercrest Bible Institute), part of Briercrest College And Seminary , moved to the town of Caronport . In 1946 , a bigger facility was needed for the increasing number of students, and the airbase at Caronport became the school's new home.
