Walter Henry Bromley (c. 1774 – c. 5 May 1838) was a British military officer and reformer who founded a school in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, and did much good work among children of poorer families including, especially, indigenous Canadians.
In 1813 he returned to Halifax, Nova Scotia where he founded the Royal Acadian School, which he ran for the thirteen years he lived there.
Finguard wrote: Bromley's school made a "seminal contribution" to the development of the education movement in Nova Scotia.
[3] Well after Bromley's departure from Nova Scotia (1825), the school continued to play a central role in the campaign for free education.
[7] He drowned in the River Torrens, accidentally so the inquest concluded,[8] The Southern Australian felt Bromley had been treated unfairly, and had done more for the natives than Wyatt.
