Carrollton is an oasis of learning in the heart of historic Coconut Grove. 

<p class="fontlook"><!--FOTO1-->Carrollton is a unique Catholic community of learning with two beautiful campuses within the heart of historic Coconut Grove. The original campus, site of the architecturally-renowned El Jardin mansion, opened its doors on January 25, 1962. Originally, the El Jardin mansion served as home to Montessori through 12. New classrooms, a library and a performing arts center were added in 1970. In 1991, Carrollton acquired the former Hughes Estate, just two blocks away, and created the Duchesne campus. This campus included historic individual cottages, a modern main building, and a pavilion. 

<p class="fontlook">Today, the Intermediate School and the High School are located at the Barat campus, which comprises approximately 10 acres fronting Biscayne Bay. The Montessori, Primary, and Junior High Schools are located in their own facilities on the nearby 6.25-acre Duchesne campus.

<p class="fontlook">Each school enjoys its own facilities including science labs, art and music studios, computer lab and classrooms. The school libraries house more than 13,500 volumes and provide connections to four databases and the online catalogue. Athletic facilities include a soccer/softball field, tennis courts, volleyball courts, basketball courts, pools and a marina for summer sailing. 

<p class="fontlook"><!--FOTO-->At Carrollton, students enjoy a peaceful learning environment set within an urban location. As a result, students are within easy reach of the surrounding community, and can take advantage of participation in community service projects as well as community cultural events. At the same time, Carrollton provides a protected campus environment, where learning and growth can occur in a peaceful, idyllic setting. As such, Carrollton, just moments from anywhere in Dade County, offers the best of two distinct but complementary worlds.
