Carlyle School, located at 109 Carlyle Avenue, was built in 1920 by the architect D.J. Spence. It was the first school to open in the Town of Mount Royal, a community designed by landscape architect Frederick Gage Todd in 1912; one that has received national historic recognition by the Federal government. Carlyle contained two classes, two professors and 26 students. The school was later known as Mount Royal High School, teaching two classes at the seventh grade level and two classes for the eighth grade, each with 40 to 50 students. It returned to an elementary school when Mount Royal High School opened its doors in 1950.
Our school community reflects the multi-ethnic and multi-lingual community of Montreal. The school welcomes all students, integrating them into regular classes while supporting them through a resource room model of special education.
