The first set of auditions for positions at the school were held in January 1990. Five hundred applications were processed for 250 positions and Cardinal Carter Academy for the Arts opened its doors to grade 7, 8 and 9 students in September 1990. The school was named after Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter, Ordinary of the Archdiocese of Toronto from 1978 to 1990, a strong supporter of education and a distinguished patron of the arts.
The specialized Arts program allows students to concentrate in one of the four art areas. Students complete a four-year program and receive a certificate recognizing their achievement in the arts along with the regular graduation diploma.
