Collège Mont Notre-Dame de Sherbrooke

What Collège Mont Notre-Dame de Sherbrooke does

Collège Mont Notre-Dame is a private French-language secondary school exclusively for girls, located in Sherbrooke, Québec, and operating as a non-profit organization (OSBL) under Quebec and Canadian law. Founded in 1864, the institution has provided over 160 years of continuous girls' education in the Estrie region and serves approximately 100 new first-year students annually, with multi-year retention producing an estimated enrollment in the mid-hundreds. Its core academic offering is the Programme d'Éducation Internationale (PEI), delivered through three specialized profiles — Arts, Languages, and Sports et plein air — supplemented by artistic options (drama, visual arts, dance), a multi-sport athletics program branded Avalanche (volleyball concentration, basketball, rugby, badminton, flag football, futsal), and student-life services including a library, leadership academy (Académie le Troubadour), a student-run Café solidaire, and the L'Ancrage podcast.

The school's underlying technology infrastructure is administrative rather than pedagogical: the Pluriportail student/parent portal (Plurilogic) manages academic communication, grades, and attendance; the public site runs on WordPress with B2B2C hosting and IDEA Communications design; communications and fundraising are operated through Mailchimp, Meta platforms, YouTube, Spotify/Apple/TikTok, Google Analytics and Ads, and the Logilys donation platform; privacy compliance is handled via Metatracer. There are no disclosed AI, ML, or proprietary product technology components.

The revenue model is tuition-based private education, with a structured direct-admission process (open houses, placement testing, enrollment) and financial aid available; specific fee schedules are not publicly disclosed. The institution is a member of the Fédération des établissements d'enseignement privés (FEEP), maintains a parent-governed Board of Directors, and is led by Director General Éric Faucher. No parent company, holding entity, or institutional investor is involved; the school is an independent non-profit with a fundraising Foundation and an alumni association (Association des anciennes) that provide incremental community and capital support.
