St. John's College

St. John's College (SJC) is a Roman Catholic high school located in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. History Origins In 1941, Brantford Catholic High School opened in the basement of St. Ann's Elementary School with just one Grade 9 class. A new class was added each year until 1951 when the school moved to Dufferin Avenue. From 1951 to 1978, the priests of the Congregation of the Resurrection acted as the principals. In 1959, the school's name changed to St. John's College. Providence College Providence College was a girls' school opened in 1961 by the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul on the site of St. Bernard's Elementary School, which has since been absorbed into St. Pius and moved to a brand new campus. At that time, it was a grades 9-12 school and girls wanting to attend university would transfer to St. John's College for grade 13. It was decided that St. John's College would absorb Providence College and move to the latter's newer Paris Road campus. The merger was finalised by the 1970-71 academic year.
