The Christiana School District was established formally in November 1912 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SW16-34-23W in the Rural Municipality of Mountain. The district was dissolved in 1967 and its catchment area became part of the Duck Mountain School Division. No vestige of the school remains at the site.
