Académie Saint-Louis

What Académie Saint-Louis does

Académie Saint-Louis is a non-profit subsidized private co-educational school (école privée subventionnée) founded in 1953 and headquartered in Quebec City, Canada. The institution operates a dual-pavilion model: Pavillon Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague for preschool and primary students (opened 2010) and a secondary pavilion featuring the Complexe sportif Desjardins (opened 2020), which houses one of the largest gymnasiums in the Greater Quebec area with a triple gymnasium, synthetic football/soccer field, robotics classroom, and customized locker rooms. The school serves over 2,000 students annually across 12 continuous years of schooling from preschool through Secondary 5, making it one of the few institutions in the Capitale-Nationale region offering this complete educational pathway, and is the only co-educational school in the region pairing academics with specialized Études-sports programs.

The school's core products are preschool/primary and secondary education, integrated Études-sports programs across six sports (Basketball, Cheerleading, Football, Golf, Hockey, Soccer) plus emerging Baseball and Tennis via partnerships with Canonniers de Québec and Académie Aliassime, and supplementary offerings including Programme Explore (interest discovery), Programme Langues (enhanced English), and Quebec's first adapted cheerleading team (Paracheer). The technology backbone is an iPad-based one-to-one technopedagogy program deployed across all classrooms with Apple TV and projectors, complemented by collaborative classrooms, robotics, and video production resources; FEEP Innovation Awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025 recognized pedagogical innovation, adapted cheerleading, and student-athlete mental health support respectively.

Académie Saint-Louis generates revenue primarily through family tuition fees, partially offset by Quebec government subsidies under the subsidized private school framework, with additional streams from summer camps ($200-$225), physical preparation programs ($375-$550), sports program fees, after-school activities, admission fees ($50 non-refundable), and fundraising through the Fondation de l'Académie Saint-Louis (registered charity since 1999, having disbursed over $500,000 in financial aid since 2018). Customer acquisition follows an event-driven go-to-market motion through open houses (Portes ouvertes), the Arsenal Experience discovery day for grades 4-5, sports identification activities, and summer programs, with distribution via online admissions portals (aslouis.coba.ca) and direct in-person sales across Quebec. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors under Director General Ann Webber, with 79 disclosed employees and a Coach of the Year roster including Olivier LeBel and Geneviève Lafrance.
