Marymount Academy (commonly referred to as Marymount, French: Académie Marymount) is a public secondary school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Directed by the English Montreal School Board (EMSB), Marymount offers an International Program of Studies based on the philosophy of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) but still following Quebec Ministerial objectives as well the Regular program of studies (MEQ). The school serves around 400 to 500 students of very diverse cultural backgrounds mostly from the borough of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce.
Marymount High School was founded in 1961 and offered programs separately for boys and girls. In 1970 these separate programs were merged under the Marymount Comprehensive High School. In 1984, Marymount Academy adopted its present name and was relocated to 5100 Cote St. Luc Road, where it currently resides. By 1990, school uniforms were instituted as compulsory, and in 1996 the International Baccalaureate Program was established.
Prior to 1998 it was operated by the Montreal Catholic School Commission.
The Regular program, as it is referred to in the school, follows the curriculum set by the Quebec Ministry of Education for Secondary school grades 8 to 11. The class offered range from the mandatory courses as well as enriched science and math courses required to study sciences in CEGEP. In order to obtain a Quebec Secondary School Diploma, students must accumulate a total of 54 credits in Sec. IV and V.
Marymount Academy also offers an International Programme of Studies based on the philosophies of the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) Middle Years Programme (MYP). The aim of the programme is to help students relate the content of the classroom to the realities of the world outside by combining knowledge, experience and critical observation. To graduate with from the IB programme the student must pass the MELS (Ministère de l'Éducation, du Loisir et du Sport) portion of the curriculum and subsequently pass the requirements of the IBO MYP. The IBO requirements include community service, completion of a portfolio of achievement at every grade level and the completion of the personal project.
