Calf Mountain School was established in April 1880 and a building was erected in the southeast quarter of 33-2-7 west of the Principal Meridian, in the Rural Municipality of Pembina. It closed in July 1964 and the remaining students went to Darlingford Consolidated School No. 1228. The former school building was renovated as a private residence that, as of the early 1990s, stood at SW-15-4-7W.
