History

edit

Par-en-bas was built to separate the French-speaking students from the English-speaking students of the École Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, which was closed in 2001 due to the building's age and a growing interest in dividing the student population by language. The school is overseen by the Conseil scolaire acadien provincial (Acadian Provincial School Board).

In 2009, the construction of an amphitheatre and community center as an addition to the school was completed in 2009. In 2011, the school grounds were upgraded in preparation for hosting soccer matches during the 2012 Jeux de l'Acadie.[1]
