COLLèGE DE MONTRéAL

(Redirected from Petit Séminaire de Montréal)

The 'Collège de Montréal' is a secondary school for students attending grades 7–11 located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. A former Roman Catholic Seminary, it was founded 1 June, 1767 as the ''Petit Séminaire'' of Montreal by the Suplician Order. From 1773 to 1803, it was known as ''Collège Saint-Raphaël''.
In the mid 1800s a number of former students went on to become activists for First Nations and Métis rights. They included Mohawk chief Joseph Onasakenrat and Metis leader Louis Riel.
It was the first high school in Montreal and is still considered one of the best in the province. It is particularly well-regarded for its "accelerated immersion" program, in which students from English schools who were in French immersion programs can, within two years, be brought up to the same level as students who came from francophone schools.
Since 1995, the school has adopted a coed environment, allowing girls to enroll.
