Le Collège français was founded in 1979 within Monarch Park High School as the first French language "module" at the secondary level in Toronto. It was the second French public secondary school established in Toronto (the first was École secondaire Étienne-Brûlé). In 1981, it moved to Jarvis Collegiate Institute, became a separate entity in 1989, and adopted the name Le Collège français à Jarvis in 1992. In September 1997, the school moved into its present building on Carlton Street at Jarvis Street, and became Le Collège français; the building previously had been part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Toronto headquarters until they were moved to their current location at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in 1993.
