Ecole internationale Guy-Drummond

The school is guided by values of altruism, integrity, open-mindedness, and balance, aiming to foster an environment of honesty, trust, equity, respect, and responsibility. As an IB World School, it is committed to the mission of the International Baccalaureate, which seeks to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and caring young people. The educational approach emphasizes humanistic values and the development of the IB learner profile, encouraging students to become active, compassionate, and lifelong learners.

The school offers the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students from preschool through the sixth year of primary school. The curriculum is delivered through transdisciplinary inquiry modules and project-based learning, focusing on the development of research, communication, social, self-management, and thinking skills. In addition to core subjects, the school provides specialized instruction in English, physical education, and music.

The school aims to develop students who achieve academic success while cultivating a strong ethical sense and the qualities of responsible global citizenship. Through the IB Primary Years Programme, students are prepared for the transition to secondary education. The curriculum focuses on developing intellectual curiosity, knowledge, and sensitivity, enabling students to contribute to a better and more peaceful world.

The school provides a comprehensive support network, including orthopedagogues, a speech therapist, a psychoeducator, and a psychologist. Specialized staff, such as special education technicians (TES), work alongside teachers to support student development. These professionals collaborate to address the diverse needs of the student body and ensure an inclusive learning environment.

The school is a specialized institution that does not function as a neighborhood school, accepting students from across the Centre de services scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys (CSSMB) territory. Admission for the 2026-2027 school year requires mandatory attendance at one of two information sessions held in late 2025, followed by a formal registration process through the CSSMB in January. Prospective families must adhere to specific enrollment criteria and participate in a lottery system for available places.

The school operates on a standard academic calendar, with specific dates for open houses and mandatory information sessions for prospective parents. The school year includes scheduled pedagogical days and follows the broader administrative guidelines of the CSSMB. Parents are provided with annual planning documents and access to the Mozaïk portal for scheduling information.

Located in Outremont, the school campus includes a large gymnasium situated on Rue Dollard, which serves as a venue for community and information meetings. The facilities are supported by a dedicated maintenance and concierge team to ensure a functional learning environment. The school also operates a service de garde (daycare) facility to support families outside of regular instructional hours.
