History 

The College of St. Scholastica owes its presence to the consolidating of two strengths: Benedictine evangelists and the settlement of Duluth. In 1892, Mother Scholastica Kerst and 28 Sisters landed from St. Joseph, Minnesota, to initiate the foundation of a Benedictine mother-house and an institute in Duluth. 

The school and religious community were situated at Munger Terrace before development required a move to another office at Third Avenue East and Third Street. Named Sacred Heart Institute, the secondary school kept on becoming quickly. Duluth's fast development prompted a third move in 1909 to its present area. 

Mother Scholastica's vision for the College can be summed up in this quote ascribed to her: "My fantasy is that some time or another there will ascend upon these grounds fine structures like the considerable Benedictine monasteries. They will be fabricated of stone: inside of their dividers advanced education will prosper." 

The school extended its course offerings in 1912 to incorporate a lesser school and changed its name to The College of St. Scholastica. The College began with just six understudies, and 52 courses were offered in eight divisions in its first year. Scholastic administration and exploration were focused on ahead of schedule as an essential piece of the College's dedication to Benedictine values. In 1924, the College turned into a four-year human sciences foundation with an enlistment of 68. The school's first baccalaureate degrees were conceded in 1926. In 1969 it turned into a completely coeducational establishment.
