Roseisle School is an exceptional example of a modestly sized, though finely detailed, village school.
The dignified design by Winnipeg architect E.D. Tuttle, which incorporates elements of the Classical Revival style, and the well-preserved brick finish, complemented by generous limestone accents, lend the structure formality and substance. Closed in 1992 due to declining enrolment, this impressive building, with its large, sheltered schoolyard, offers a glimpse of Roseisle’s busier past and the importance which the community attached to meeting its educational needs.
The site was designated on October 20, 1989, by the RM of Dufferin. It is now privately owned.

Third Roseisle School (Archives of Manitoba, MB Education [Series 2] Roseisle School SD#726 [N24191])
The first Roseisle school was built in 1894 on NW 21-6-7w a mile west of the present hamlet. A larger frame school was built in Roseisle in 1914. When this building burned in 1920, it was replaced by a new brick structure on the same site. This school opened in 1921 and operated until 1992. School children from the area are bussed to Carman or Miami.
It is a designated Manitoba Municipal Heritage Site.
