Sir Guy Carleton Elementary School (or its more common name Carleton) is an elementary school in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is situated near the intersection of Kingsway and Joyce Street. Carleton houses the oldest schoolhouse in Vancouver, which was built in 1896[1] making it more than a 100 years old. Originally called the Vancouver East School, its name changed to Collingwood Heights in 1908 and then to its present name in 1911. Carleton has grown from the small one-room schoolhouse and has added 3 more buildings into the area over the course of the years: a two-room schoolhouse, a two-story Edwardian-style building, and a bigger red brick building.
Carleton now houses 19 classes from Kindergarten to Grade 7 and it educates about 470 students [2]. Carleton is a very diverse school but most of the students are East Asian.
After Grade 7, most people will move on to either Killarney Secondary School or Windermere Secondary School with a vast majority going to Killarney.
The current principal is Ms. Pat Munton and the current vice-principal is Mr. Henry Peters.
The school is named after Guy Carleton, a British govenor for the province of Quebec during the 18th century.
