[edit] History
The school was established in 1903 in Lorne Park (a community to the west of Toronto, now part of Mississauga) and was then known as Lornedale Academy, and had 8 students. By 1911, the need for more space and equipment caused the school to look for a new site, and the present site in Oshawa (east of Toronto) was acquired. The school was renamed "Buena Vista Academy", and opened in 1912.
The school quickly grew. In 1914, it became a Union Conference school, and in 1916, it became a junior college with fourteen grades, and its name was changed to "Eastern Canadian Missionary Seminary". In 1920, the school was re-named again as "Oshawa Missionary College".
During the Depression years, enrollment decreased and some programs were discontinued, following which an improvement program was implemented in 1933. Enrollment decreased again during World War II, but following the war, the college enjoyed a period of expansion.
In 1963, the school name was changed once more, to "Kingsway College", reflecting a curriculum that included a complete academic program, decreasing the implication that the school was a Bible college.
