Many more one-room school districts developed in the early 1900s to survive until the mid-20th century when they were gradually replaced with the Briercrest Family of Schools.

Briercrest College and Seminary

The Briercrest College and Seminary was originally founded as the Briercrest Bible Institute in Briercrest in 1935, which has since moved to Caronport. In 1946, a larger facility was needed for the increasing number of students, and the airbase at Caronport became the school's new home. The school, however, continued to honour its early history by retaining the name of Briercrest as its birthplace.
