AT A GLANCE

THE PRIORY AT A GLANCE

The Priory School is a premier co-educational independent English-language school specializing in early childhood education, offering classes from Kindergarten to Grade 6.

ELIGIBILITY

The Priory welcomes children who may not otherwise be eligible for English education in the province of Quebec. As the school does not receive government assistance, The Priory can provide instruction in English to any child regardless of the parents' origins or language.

ENROLLMENT

The Priory has an enrollment of approximately 168 students each year. One of The Priory's greatest strengths is our small size. With a firm belief that children excel when provided with small group learning opportunities, The Priory's class schedules allow for instruction in groups of 14 students to take place throughout the day, addressing each student's individual strengths and interests.

LOCATION

  • Nestled within a quiet residential area, close to downtown Montreal, The Priory offers a safe and secure environment. Also within the immediate vicinity is beautiful Mout Royal, which is a short walk away for Priory students and teachers who wish to take advantage of this grand outdoor classroom.

  • The grounds themselves offer spacious yards shaded by mature trees, climbing frames, a jungle gym, a basketball court, and a soccer pitch that doubles as a skating rink during winter months.

 

  • Over the years, the campus has expanded to include many specialized learning and living spaces, so that both classroom teachers and specialists have ideal facilities to give their very best.

ADMINISTRATION

Our facilities include a light-filled art room, a designated music room, a French environment for both Junior and Senior French programs, a dedicated library, a science lab, an expanded gym, and a playground and recreation field with a skating rink and sliding hill for winter activities.

ATMOSPHERE

  • The Priory offers a small, warm, and caring environment. The Priory believes this is the key to helping children develop their first learning skills and ensuring that education will continue to be a happy and rewarding experience.

  • The school was founded on Catholic traditions and welcomes students of all backgrounds, embracing diversity, while maintaining its spiritual and moral integrity.

FACILITIES

The school is administered by a corporation of active parents who elect a Board of Directors each year. The Board is comprised of professionals and community leaders who guide and oversee the school's mission and strategic plan. The Board, in close cooperation with the Head of School, develops the overall school policies and ensures the financial health of the school.
