The Priory is an independent, co-educational, English elementary school offering classes from Kindergarten to the end of Cycle Three.
The Priory welcomes pupils 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.
The school was founded on Catholic traditions and welcomes students of all backgrounds while maintaining its spiritual and moral integrity. The universal values common to all faiths are promoted and integrated into the religious program.
The Priory has an enrollment of approximately 165 students each year. Class size ranges from 20 to 24 students.
The Priory offers a small, warm, caring environment with an orderly structure. 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.
Located in an economically stable, quiet, residential area close to downtown Montreal, The Priory offers a safe, secure environment. The school?s spacious grounds include climbing frames, a jungle gym, basketball court, skating rink and a sliding hill for winter fun.
