Current
Carleton has since grown from the small one-room schoolhouse and has added three 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 16 classes from Kindergarten to Grade 7 and educates about 362 students every year. Like many of the schools in the area, Carleton has a very diverse school population. After Grade 7, most students will move on to either Killarney Secondary School or Windermere Secondary School, with a vast majority going to Killarney.
The school is located a few blocks south of the nearby Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain Station.
In March 2008, the historic schoolhouse was set ablaze. The kindergarten classes that were taught in the schoolhouse had to be temporarily relocated due to the fire.
Green Thumb theatre has entered into a lease agreement with the VSB that will have them restore the two outbuildings. Construction is now under wy with occupancy set to occur in May 2013. One will become the administrative offices for Green Thumb and the other will house the theatres.

Famous quotes containing the word current:
“A man is a little thing whilst he works by and for himself, but, when he gives voice to the rules of love and justice, is godlike, his word is current in all countries; and all men, though his enemies are made his friends and obey it as their own.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“I perceived that to express those impressions, to write that essential book, which is the only true one, a great writer does not, in the current meaning of the word, invent it, but, since it exists already in each one of us, interprets it. The duty and the task of a writer are those of an interpreter.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
