British-American Institute
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The British-American Institute was a school started in 1842 by Josiah Henson as part of the Dawn Settlement, a community of fugitive slaves who had escaped to Canada. The institute was a school for all ages designed to provide a general education and teacher training. It was taken over by the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society in 1849. The school closed down in 1868.
