According to the school’s website, “On September 6, 1897, The Berkeley Institute [elementary and high school] was opened on the ground floor of the Samaritan’s Hall, Court Street, Hamilton. At that time, it was a private school [parents had to pay a fee]. The principal was George A. DaCosta.
“There were fifteen boys and twelve girls present. On November 25, 1899, a parcel of land was purchased from a Miss Eve for 300 pounds. This is the site of the Berkeley Institute school on St. John’s Road, Pembroke. In 1933, it became a secondary school only.”
