Lower Canada College (LCC) of Montreal is an elementary and secondary level private school. The college was founded by the Church of St John the Evangelist in 1861 as St. John's School and changed its name to Lower Canada College in 1909, replacing an older school by that name that was founded in 1847.
LCC offers education from Kindergarten through Grade 12. Students graduate from Grade 11, and then have the option of leaving the school and going on to CEGEP, which is the university preparatory system in Quebec, or returning to LCC for the Pre-University year.
LCC is proud to offer amazing opportunities for students. Our academic program has enriched courses for those needing an extra challenge, a wide variety of optional courses to appeal to every student, appropriate focus on fundamental skill development through our early literacy and grade 7 orientation programs, and support for different learning styles. We also have a full range of co-curricular opportunities: unparalleled offerings in media and the arts, leadership positions at almost all grade levels, a comprehensive athletics program that meets the interests of every kind of athlete, and an international program augmented by membership in the Duke of Edinburgh program and the International Association of Round Square Schools. All of these are offered equally to boys and girls in a coeducational environment that mirrors the world of university and beyond.
LCC has increasingly become a bilingual institution. Courses are taught in both French and English with Spanish lessons offered to middle and senior school students.
