It is located on Boulevard Cité des Jeunes in the Hull sector just on the eastern flank of the Gatineau Park, one of the National Capital Region's touristic destination.

This school is among several other educational institutions located on Cite des Jeunes along with the CEGEP de l'Outaouais, Heritage College and Asticou Centre.

In addition to its facilities inside the building, there is also an athletic field race track, a soccer field, a large stadium in which several sports can be practiced including football, baseball and soccer as well as Gatineau Park and the Relais Plein Air where there can be several outdoor activities, notably in the winter.

In November 2006, the school caught worldwide attention when students filmed with a cellphone, their English teacher disciplining his group after several misconducts from it.

At the end of the year, all the students have the chance to see their productions on big screen at the Famous Players Theatre and celebrate their skills with the traditional Oscars ceremony.
