Overview
Marianopolis College is a private, English-language pre-university institution in Westmount, Quebec, operating within the province's CEGEP system.
It traces its roots to 1908, when the Congregation de Notre-Dame founded it as the first institution of higher learning for English-speaking Catholic women in Quebec. Following the 1969 reform that created Quebec's CEGEP network, the college phased out its university-affiliated courses, began admitting men, and adopted the two-year pre-university Diploma of College Studies model it still follows today.
Since 2007 it has been based in a restored heritage building at 4873 Westmount Avenue, between the Vendome and Villa-Maria metro stations, a property it purchased outright from its founding congregation in 2024. Enrolling roughly 2,000 students drawn from more than 170 Montreal-area high schools, Marianopolis offers pre-university streams in Science, Social Science, Arts and Sciences, Arts Literature and Communication, and Music, several with Honours or double-DEC options pairing music training with a second discipline.
Small classes and close academic advising underpin an on-time graduation rate near 70 percent, roughly double the Quebec college network average, and graduates go on to competitive university programs across Canada and abroad in fields from medicine and engineering to business, law and the arts.
