Grow

Our students come from all backgrounds and from more than 170 high schools from throughout Montreal and the world. What they have in common is a motivation to excel and a deep appreciation for community. Because college is more than preparing for university.

We have more student clubs than any other college and we are the only one with two universal breaks each week. That’s a time set aside for you to take advantage of our many extracurricular, sports and enriching activities, get involved at the College, discover new interests, network with industry professionals and attend lectures that round out your studies.
