Walnut Grove One Room School

One-room schools were com­mon­place through­out rural por­tions of var­i­ous coun­tries includ­ing the United States, Canada, Aus­tralia, New Zealand, United King­dom and Ire­land in the late 19^th and early 20^th cen­turies. In most rural (coun­try) and small town schools, all of the stu­dents met in a sin­gle room. There, a sin­gle teacher taught aca­d­e­mic basics to five to eight grade lev­els of elementary-age boys and girls.
