Education edit
The elementary school of Robertville is École La Croisée de Robertville ("La Croisée" is French for "The Crossing", referring to the four corners intersection where the school is situated and was named by a student (Jason Mansour) after he won a contest to find the school a name).
French speaking people from Robertville (and the surroundings) generally go to École Secondaire Népisiguit (ESN - The French Highschool) in the City of Bathurst, and the few English people from Robertville (and the surroundings, predominantly in Bathurst) go to Bathurst High School (BHS).
History edit
Established in 1884 by a Roman Catholic priest by the name of François-Antoine Robert, its residents are predominantly francophone.
