Known originally as the Birdview School District when it was organized in March 1917, it was renamed Darveau at some point. A one-room schoolhouse operated at NW11-35-20W in the Rural Municipality of Mountain. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Duck Mountain School Division.
Among the teachers of Darveau School was Stella Howelko.
