The École Polyvalente Le Carrefour is a public high school located in Gatineau, Quebec. It is run by the Commission Scolaire des Draveurs school board in Gatineau and enrolls over 2 300 students and employs a staff of about 175 including teachers, administration and custodial staff.
The school is located in the centre of a major commercial district which includes in addition to Les Promenades de l'Outaouais, several strips malls as well as a clinic. It is located just across from the city's largest mall Les Promenades de l'Outaouais on Chemin de la Savane near Boulevard Greber.
The school itself contains an agora, several small sports and leisure infrastructures including a swimming pool, a gymnasium, a dance room, a weightlifting room as well as a large football field outside. Just south of the school, there is also a skateboard park and an ice skating rink called Stade Pierre-Lafontaine.
For over 10 years, the high school has offered an international program (initiated by UNESCO) to students in order to become more involved in the community, to initiate students to other cultures and traditions across the world and to be prepared for future studies at college and university. Generally, only high skilled students from the primary level have access to this program. Objectives and work projects are more demanding and Spanish is taught during the program in secondary 3 and 4.
