When we first see the school, we see the schoolyard, where was that scene filmed?

I could be wrong, but it looks a lot to me like the old Blantyre Public School. I went there for "shop" when I was in grade school back in the 70s.

I tried, but couldn't locate any pictures of the old elementary school building, but I would swear that it was Blantyre Public featured in "The Brood."

I also passed the school on the bus everyday on my way back from work for many years.

The following was posted by CapnKaos:

Brown Junior Public School in Toronto.

You can see a link here giving the name of the school:

https://vimeo.com/110532568

And @ 2:41 ish you can see an apartment building behind it.

If you check Google maps here:

You can see the school. And just down the street a bit is the same apartment building.

Funny, I've walked by that school many times when I used to walk up Avenue Rd. to get to Eglinton Ave. W. back in the late '90s to go over to Yonge St. so I could go to Canada Square cinemas or that cinema that was a few blocks east of Yonge on Eglinton.
