The school was established in 1995 based on the recognition of the need for a French language school within the city. The first official location of the school was on Sharpes Lane off Highway 2 East and was successful from the start. In 2005 the school moved to its current home in a brand-new building on Kensington Parkway, three times bigger than the old school, and with space for a Centre des Enfants (day care).
