Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur is a private French language co-education secondary school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur shares its name with the University of Notre Dame, which was also founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross. Notre-Dame means "Our Lady" in French and refers to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Sacré-Cœur means "Sacred Heart", which refers to the physical heart of Jesus Christ as a symbol of Divine love. It is generally considered one of the best French-language secondary schools in the city. This school is right in front of Saint Joseph's Oratory. In fact, Saint André Bessette, the man who built Saint Joseph's Oratory, was Collège Notre-Dame's doorkeeper.
Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur was founded in 1869 by the Congregation of Holy Cross and is administered by Roman Catholic priests and brothers. It adopts an educational approach that enhances the development of intellectual capability, spirituality as well as of physical ability within a dynamic and favourable environment. Originally a boys only school, it decided to allow female students in 1982 in grades 7 and 8, and then progressively through until it was completely coed.
Music, sports, theatre and other extracurricular activities help create a healthy and balanced environment. Through all these years until today, Collège Notre-Dame du Sacré-Cœur is considered one of the best French schools in the Province and it is one of the top schools in Montreal, coming in first place but with a very few other schools sharing that same position.
In recent years, the institution has come into the public eye for a multitude of sex abuse cases and cover-ups spanning the better part of the second half of the 20th century.
