Westmount
Quebec, Canada
Located in the heart of Westmount city this huge building was first used by the Sisters of the Congregation of Notre-Dame, one of the first religious congregations to be establish in Montreal.
This building hosts since 2007 the Marianopolis College.
Founded by the Sisters of Notre Dame in 1908, it was the first higher educational institution for Anglophone Catholic women in Quebec. The institution was bilingual at the time and diplomas awarded in partnership with the University of Montreal.
It was during World War II that the English part is named Marianopolis. With Parent's report on post-secondary education in Quebec, several educational institutions were deeply changed, and so, Marianopolis became a college in 1969 and awarded its latest university degree in 1972.
Today the institution is recognized as one of the best pre-university colleges in Quebec. Approximately 1800 students attend the College annually.
The Congregation of Notre-Dame was founded by Marguerite Bourgeoys following a travel in 1653. It was the first non-cloistered community dedicated to teaching in the world.
