Crichton Street Public School, Heritage school building in New Edinburgh, Canada.

The Crichton Street Public School features classic architectural elements designed by William B. Garvock, representing early educational institutions in Ottawa.

Established in 1838 and rebuilt in 1919, the school served the New Edinburgh community until its closure in 1999, when it became The School of Dance.

Students from Crichton Street Public School participated in neighborhood initiatives, including protests against the Vanier Parkway expansion through their district in 1991.

Located at 200 Crichton Street in Ottawa, the building maintains its educational purpose while preserving its protected exterior structure.

The school transformed into an alternative education center in the 1980s, focusing on independent learning methods before its final transformation.
