While all independent schools in Montreal offer fine academic and co-curricular programs, each has a unique spirit and feeling. That is why it is so important to tour The Study, where you will gain an appreciation of what makes this school special.

Among The Study’s distinguishing characteristics are its successful Elementary School bilingual program, the thoughtful integration of technology into all levels of the curriculum and a cross-curricular approach to teaching and learning that fosters research, inquiry and independent thinking.

But what graduates and parents tell us again and again is that The Study is a warm, nurturing place, where students feel supported by each other and by their teachers. The Study is a community where girls receive the guidance, inspiration and encouragement they need during their formative years.

Studies and surveys indicate that single-sex education creates a stronger learning environment and allows students to become more active and confident in the classroom. An all-girls school fosters high levels of self-esteem, student achievement and encourages academic exchange.

10 things that distinguish all-girls schools are:

1. Girls’ schools create opportunities for appropriate educational risk-taking.
2. In a girls’ school, learning takes centre stage and social life with boys is reserved for time outside school hours.
3. Girls’ schools teach collaborative as well as competitive skills.
4. Teaching strategies maximize girls’ verbal and writing skills.
5. Girls’ schools offer strong female role models.
6. Girls have opportunities to lead – on the Student Council, as the quarterback on the football team or playing drums in the band.
7. The curriculum emphasizes real life skills, such as financial literacy, leadership and community service.
8. Girls’ schools promote excellence in math, science and technology.
9. An all-girls school fosters a can-do philosophy.
10. Girls’ schools promote athletic participation to encourage leadership and team play.

While the main entry years are Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 7, there are often openings at other grade levels and we are always looking for bright young candidates to fill these available places. We suggest that you contact the Director of Admissions at any time throughout the year to discuss the possibilities.

Although academic assessment is required for entry at all grade levels, girls are not selected solely for their academic results. Their natural curiosity, work habits, dedication, attitude and talents beyond the classroom are all important.

The Study receives government subsidies at the Senior School level. Therefore, all students in the Senior School (Grades 7 though 11) must provide a Certificate of Eligibility issued by the Québec Ministry of Education. Students in Kindergarten through Grade 6 are not required to submit this certificate, since The Study does not receive government subsidies at the Elementary School level.

All applicants must meet The Study’s basic academic requirements. However, should there be a case where two applicants are truly equal in merit, the school will likely favour a student's sibling or a relative of an alumna. The Study’s primary obligation is to provide an academic program that will benefit every student and it does not knowingly admit students who will be in certain difficulty.

The Study participates in the QAIS Common Admissions Test (CAT) with five other QAIS English schools. All Grade 7 applicants must write this common exam. Applicants will also be invited to The Study for an interview, school tour and lunch. Students must submit an application to The Study and register on-line for the CAT with Brisson Legris at www.registrationbl.qc.ca

Bursary application forms are available through the Director of Admissions and should be requested when applying for admission. Bursaries are awarded based on an applicant’s assessed financial need, as determined by a third party – FACS (Financial Aid for Canadian Students).
