Bishops College was a high school located in central St. John's, Newfoundland. It was next to another high school called Booth Memorial High. Bishops College had a French Immersion and English stream programs and was well into its fifth decade as an educational institution, was located in St. John's, NF, Canada. It offered grades 10 to 12 to a total student population of about 600 and operated under the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Education curriculum. Bishops College was under the trusteeship of the Eastern School District. Over the past two decades Bishops College had been proud to nominate its teachers for one of the most prestigious awards an educator can receive – the Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence. Bishops College had been even more proud to announce successful nominees year after year. Winners included Bonnie Campbell, Yvonne Dawe, Carolyn Morgan, Claire Frankel, Renee Boyce, Brian Vardy, Pat Wells, Jim Moore, Brenda Rowe-Bartlett, Sharon Whitt and Garland Jennings. To have so many winners from the same school has been unprecedented nationwide. It closed its doors for the last time on June 25th, 2015. ==History== Before 1787 the Church of England in Newfoundland was under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of London, and then later the diocese of Nova Scotia. It was not until 1839 that the first Bishop of Newfoundland, Rev. Aubrey George Spencer, was consecrated. Bishop Spencer laid foundations upon which his successors built. He extended the work of the church, established a school for the training of clergymen (afterwards Queen's College), and laid the foundation stone for the building of a cathedral in St. John’s. Under his successor, the Right Rev. Edward Feild, education continued to be encouraged, and orphanages founded. Bishop Feild founded a collegiate school for boys which in 1894 became Bishop Feild College. He also established Bishop Spencer College, a diocesan school for girls. For 100 years these schools were homes to boys and girls from the Church of England. Bishop Feild College was the College for all Anglican people in Newfoundland. To that end Feild Hall was erected near present day St. Thomas' Church to house the "outport" boys whose parents could afford to send them to Feild. Bishop Jones Hostel (Rennies Mill Road) was the girls’ accommodation. The present Bishop Feild School, the old Bishop Feild College, was erected in 1926 and opened in 1928. The school recently celebrated its 165th anniversary. In 1959 Bishops College was built by The Anglican Church necessitating a diminishing of the old Bishops Feild college to a Junior High. Why this was done is open to speculation but some believe it was a turning away from the British Model of comprehensive schooling to the American model of a tripartite system of primary, elementary, and high schools). In 1972 a further decrease in Feild's status came when Junior High Schools like Macdonald Drive, Macpherson and I.J. Samson were built. Thus Feild became a Primary/Elementary School and by 1986 it was a French Immersion School. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bishops College (Newfoundland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
