Mount Carmel is home to [[Wabash Valley College]], part of the [[Illinois Eastern Community Colleges]] (IECC). The college has 1375 students, and has an active international student program. The small town atmosphere provides a laid back, comfortable setting in which international students may study English as a second language (ESL). As part of the IECC, residents benefit from a reciprocal agreement where some of the out-of-state fees to attend the [[University of Southern Indiana]] are waived, in exchange for similar tuition discounts for Indiana students in IECC schools. Their men's basketball team, the Warriors, won the [[NJCAA]] Division I championships in 2001.

Mount Carmel's K-12 school district is [[Wabash Community Unit School District 348]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st17_il/schooldistrict_maps/c17185_wabash/DC20SD_C17185.pdf|title=2020 CENSUS - SCHOOL DISTRICT REFERENCE MAP: Wabash County, IL|publisher=[[U.S. Census Bureau]]|access-date=2024-06-15}} - [https://www2.census.gov/geo/maps/DC2020/PL20/st17_il/schooldistrict_maps/c17185_wabash/DC20SD_C17185_SD2MS.txt Text list]</ref> It has two elementary schools, divided by grade (Mount Carmel Elementary School and Mount Carmel Grade School), Mount Carmel Junior High School, and [[Mount Carmel High School (Mount Carmel, Illinois)|Mount Carmel High School]], the only high school in the county.
