Collège International Marie de France


The Collège international Marie de France is a French-language private school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1939 by French expatriates, the school prepares its students from age 4 to 17 for the French baccalauréat. It also provides equivalence with the diplomas of Québec as defined in the framework of the international agreement between France and Québec, enabling students to spend school in both the Canadian and French system. Today, it is well known for its ethnic diversity, a feature that led former principal Joel Lust to add 'international' to the name of the school. It is one of the two French private lycées located in Montréal, Québec, Canada; alongside Collège Stanislas.

Education

Many professors come from France, and Parisian French is taught and spoken at the school. The school is also renowned for its language and literature programs, and all students learn three languages. Students benefit from theatre, music and art classes, and are also taught physics, biology and calculus. Additionally, optional courses such as Latin or Art history can be taken. The school has kindergarten, elementary/primary, secondary/high school, and CEGEP/college programs.
