History

Lower Canada College was opened on Royal Avenue by Dr. Charles Fosbery on September 20, 1909.[3] LCC can trace its roots to 1861, when the boarding school St. John's School was started by the Church of St John the Evangelist.

Admissions

As of 2013 LCC receives subsidies from the provincial government and therefore abides by the French Language Charter, restricting enrolment of students to eligible parties specified in the charter.[4]

The annual tuition fees for attending LCC range from $18,695 to $23,845. International students in high school also have to pay an additional $4,771 to cover the grant the school receives for local students.[5] The school receives subsidies from the provincial government that is available to all private schools for Grades 7 to 11, which means all students in the high school section must have a certificate of eligibility allowing them to attend government-funded English schools in Quebec in accordance with Bill 101. Students without the certificate can attend the non-subsidized elementary school section and qualify for the certificate after three years as long as they and any siblings have never previously attended a French school.[6][7][8]
