Higher Education In Quebec
Higher education in Quebec differs from the education system of other provinces in Canada. Instead of entering university or college directly from high school, students in Quebec leave secondary school after Grade 11 (or Secondary V), and enter post-secondary studies at the college level, as a prerequisite to university. Although both public colleges (CEGEPs) and private colleges exist, both are colloquially termed CEGEPs. This level of post-secondary education allows students to choose either a vocational path or a more academic path.Smith, W. Foster, W. and Donahue, H.

However, the education system began long before that. Actually, in 1862, the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools created ''The Quebec Commercial Academy'', located on Auteuil's street, which welcomed one ...
