The fascinating story of Canada’s only “Grammar School” is told for the first time in a new book written by Paul W. Bennett and published by Formac Publishing of Halifax. Entitled The Grammar School: Striving for Excellence in a Public School World, the book provides a rare look at the Halifax Grammar School’s titanic early struggle for survival and how its fate ebbed and flowed with changes in the Nova Scotia public education system.

Here’s a book for educators and anyone interested in the ongoing debate over the state of education.
