Education in Pretoria
Public school was begun in 1904, shortly after the village of Pretoria was formed; the Abraham J. Loewen family had arrived two years earlier.

A public school stood on the north side of the street, in the middle of the village, and a high school stood (die Zentralschule) at the end of the street, on the south side.
