In 1906 University School was founded by R. V. Harvey, Rev. W. W. Bolton and J. C. Barnacle and four years later, in 1910 K. C. Symons founded St. Michaels School. In 1971 the two Schools, University School and St. Michaels School amalgamated to form St. Michaels University School. In 1979 girls were, for the first time, enrolled at SMUS as day and boarding students from grades 10-12. Schoolhouse was renovated and extended in 2005-06.
