On October 1901, the school started with seven pupils. By January 1905, 150 students attended. It was founded by a group of northern abolitionists and Beaufort citizens. The school's mission was to instruct African American students in better cultivation of land, care of stock and manner of living. The school offered instruction in carpentry, bricklaying, printing and other trades. Courses for females included cooking, sewing, nursing, and homemaking. By 1920 The Port Royal Agricultural School became the Beaufort County Training School, yet it was still known as The Shanklin School by area residents. With public and private funds it was able to meet the need for African American teachers and was known as a teacher's training site. The school maintained 800 acres (3.2 km2) of land, as well as two barns, two dormitories, a power plant, equipment and an endowment of around $11,000. Today, the school is now found at 121 Morrall Drive.
