The Polyvalente Le Carrefour is a public secondary school located in Gatineau, Quebec. It is located just across from the city's largest mall Les Promenades de l'Outaouais on Chemin de la Savane near Boulevard Greber. It is runned by the Commission Scolaire des Draveurs school board in Gatineau and enrolls over 2 300 students and employs a personnel of about 175 including teachers, administration and custodian staff. 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 soccer field outside. Just south of the school, there is also a skateboard park and a skating rink stadium called Stade Pierre-Lafontaine.
The school is located in the center of a major commercial district which includes in addition to Les Promenades de l'Outaouais, several strips malls as well as a clinic facility.
For over 10 years, the high school offers 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 can have access to this program. Objectives and work projects are more demanding and Spanish can be taught during the program.
Every June 23, there is a concert series held outside the school in the soccer field in conjunction with festivities surrounding the Saint-Jean Baptiste's Quebec holiday.
