About Our School

Situated on a magnificent site at the base of a mountain, collège Bourget is located 45 minutes West of Montreal, (about 2 million people) on highway 40 leading to Ottawa (capital of Canada, about 500,000 people) which is 70 minutes from Rigaud.

From the campus, the students have direct access to Rigaud Mountain's hiking trails, where ecological discoveries are plentiful.

Collège Bourget welcomes about 250 boarders and 1100 day students (co-educational). In recent years, we have opened our doors to the elementary school level.

Our students originate from many areas of the Province of Quebec but also from countries outside of Canada, such as Latin America and French African countries.

	Educational Mission Collège Bourget's educational mission is focused on certain key points, including the importance of the French language, the world we live in, fostering an interest in science, developing artistic and cultural awareness, participation in leisure and sport. Our spiritual ideal constitutes the centre of our educational approach. Some family values we emphasize are respect, tolerance and community involvement.

Collège Bourget celebrated its 150^th anniversary in the year 2000. Founded in 1850 by the Clerics of St-Viator, it has succeeded throughout its history in providing quality education to countless generations of young students. True to the mission of its founder, Father Louis Querbes, Collège Bourget is open to all students who want to succeed in their studies.

Collège Bourget offers students and their parents a warm, safe, educational and social environment. The students' academic education is complemented by sports, socio-cultural and community activities.

A team of professionals ensures that students are integrated into their personal, social, as well as academic lives. We pay special attention to intercultural differences. We plan their stay with a great deal of attention and try to make their stay as happy as possible. Collège Bourget is the right place for students who want to learn in a healthy environment, a magnificent setting and in a warm atmosphere.

Collège Bourget is more than just a school, it is a home away from home. Thanks to the large number of activities that are offered, students enjoy living in a residence and being part of a big family.
