Collège Laurentien

The school is a private, French-language, secular institution that focuses on the integral development of the student in a stimulating, family-oriented environment. It is deeply rooted in nature and outdoor education, aiming to prepare students for both current and future realities. The educational approach prioritizes individualization, academic excellence, and social responsibility.

The school offers a general education curriculum at the primary (2nd cycle, 2nd year, and 3rd cycle) and secondary levels, compliant with the Quebec Private Education Act. The academic programme includes core subjects such as mathematics, French, English, science and technology, history, and arts, alongside specialized courses like physical education and outdoor studies, entrepreneurship, and financial education. The school also implements a 'Programme parenthèse' to further support student success.

The school provides a general education programme at the secondary level that leads to the attainment of the Secondary School Diploma (DES). It emphasizes the development of autonomy, self-confidence, and self-assertion, and recognizes student effort and achievement through an annual gala.

The school employs a dedicated team of orthopedagogues and specialized education technicians to support students at both the primary and secondary levels. These professionals work across different cycles to provide individualized assistance and ensure student well-being. Additionally, the school offers free weekly recovery periods to help students succeed academically.

The school accepts applications for primary (4th, 5th, and 6th grade) and secondary (1st through 5th year) levels.
