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:
“But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Absolutely speaking, Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you is by no means a golden rule, but the best of current silver. An honest man would have but little occasion for it. It is golden not to have any rule at all in such a case.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Through this broad street, restless ever,
Ebbs and flows a human tide,
Wave on wave a living river;
Wealth and fashion side by side;
Toiler, idler, slave and master, in the same quick current glide.”
—John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
