  Kingston Grammar School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The school was granted a Royal Charter in 1561 by Elizabeth I which provided several endowments, including the Chapel of St Mary Magdalen and the various lands and buildings then attached to it.
The Chapel had housed a school prior to its dissolution by Henry VIII as part of the general attack on Chantries, therefore historians have said that it is probable Elizabeth was doing no more than giving life to something which her father had brought to an untimely end.
In 1926 the school accepted direct grant status but has long since reverted to full independence as a day school for boys and girls between the ages of ten and nineteen and is represented on the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.

 Kingston, Ontario - An Educational Centre
In 1861 a movement was made to amalgamate the Queen's Preparatory School with the County Grammar School, as it was then styled, and a committee consisting of Principal Leitch of Queen's University, with the Revs.
But while the Grammar School at an early period provided advanced teaching for the children of those who could afford the fees, there was, for the first quarter of the century, little of even the most elementary education open to the children of the poor.
But while Kingston has been favoured with many good schools, both primary and secondary, and with other institutions for higher education, her crowning educational glory is, of course, her university, one of the oldest in Canada, which has grown with her growth, and conferred upon her the distinction and privileges of a university town.
