Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf is a private French-language educational institution offering secondary school and college-level instruction in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, named after Catholic missionary and martyr Jean de Brébeuf. Post-secondary students receive a Diploma of Collegial Studies in a two-year, pre-university program of study.

Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf was founded by the Jesuits in 1928. The school has been secular since 1986, and is now a co-ed establishment for students in their final year of secondary school and in college, while remaining boys-only in the first four years of secondary school. It retains a dress code, but no specific uniform. It is widely regarded as one of the best and most prestigious secondary schools in Quebec and Canada, and has consistently received high rankings from the Fraser Institute for academic achievement.

Students are taught in the Jesuit tradition. Subjects taught in the secondary part of the school include Latin, Mathematics, French, English, Religion, Gym, Sciences, Geography and History. The school is known for being very competitive in basketball and fencing, having won provinvial titles in basketball in the last five years and having many of its former students fence at international levels.
