The Simpson School District was formally established in April 1891, and a two-storey, four-classroom brick school was built later that year, and opened in early 1892. A bell in its tower was donated by Premier Thomas Greenway (now atop a cairn commemorating local schools). Two-teacher instruction began in 1897 and was expanded to a staff of three in 1902. In its early years, the high school component was often referred to as Baldur Intermediate School, as to distinguish itself from the Baldur High School in Ontario, though this convention was later discargded in favour of the Baldur High School name as well.

In 1905, a replacement structure was built upon the designs by Brandon architect W. A. Elliott. Around 1914, the district changed its name and adopted the community name of Baldur, which was already used by the Baldur School District No. 588 at Hnausa, north of Gimli. Upon prompting from Department of Education in February 1915, the Hnausa school location change its name, and the like-named district confusion abated.

In January 1960, the school was consolidated with several smaller schools from the surrounding area, including Rosehill School No. 90, Wolseley School No. 305, Hola School No. 889, Greenway School No. 947, Huff School No. 948, Hamlin School No. 1790, and Antonius School No. 2127. A new Baldur Elementary School was constructed in 1961 and elementary grades were transferred there. Other rural schools would join during the 1960s, including Connaught School No. 1630. Known as Baldur Collegiate, the facility then was exclusively use for high school grades until the summer 1976. That same final year, a monument was erected. In 1977, the building and land was sold to the RM of Argyle for $1000. The structure was later demolished.
