OPENBARE SCHOOL VOOR GEW. LAGER ONDERWIJS VAN 1957 TOT 1981

Prinsenschool De Prinsenschool, N.Z. Voorburgwal 282, werd op 1 aug. 1981 opgeheven. In 1853 was deze school, die zijn naam ontleende aan de pedagoog Prinsen, gevestigd in een pand op de Herengracht. Daarna verhuisde de school van de Herengracht naar de Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal naast de Brederodeschool voor jongens op nummer 284. In 1957 verhuisde de Prinsenschool ten slotte naar het gebouw van de voormalige Sint Louis-ULO in de Spuistraat.

Door afnemende bevolking van de binnenstad werd opheffing noodzakelijk.

Het pand heeft in 2015 een zorgbestemming gekregen. Er zijn verschillende zorgpraktijken in gevestigd.
