During the island's early colonial history, founder William Glass sent his children to Britain for their education. The first teacher to arrive on the island was Benjamin Pankhurst in 1830, who remained for two years. A school was later established in William Glass's home, by Rev. Taylor, the island's first minister.[3]
The first purpose-built school, St. Mary's was not opened until 1975.[citation needed]
