The Kenville School District was organized formally in November 1906 and a school building operated at Kenville in what is now the Municipality of Swan Valley West. In 1967, the school became part of the Swan Valley School Division and it closed in June 1975. The former school building is no longer present at the site but a stone commemorative monument was dedicated in July 1977 to former students and teachers, and pioneers of the area.
