St. John’s school which was opened in Waterloo in September 1969 with 420 students and 30 teachers. Between 1971 and 1973, the facilities were extended to include a High School. In 1979, St. John’s introduced the International Baccalaureate (IB) and was one of the early adopters of this curriculum.
