Welcome Message from the Principal
Welcome to Collège Sainte-Marcelline!
It is with great joy that I welcome you into this educational community that I hold so deeply in my heart. Because here, it is not merely a school, it is a true family, in the most authentic sense of the word.
From kindergarten through the end of high school, we accompany every young person with care, respecting their pace and personality. We deeply believe that each child carries within them a unique treasure to discover, nurture and share with the world. This conviction drives our mission, day after day.
What moves me most deeply is seeing students step through our doors with their questions, their strengths and sometimes their hesitations… and then watching them blossom, grow and leave the school with confidence, curiosity and openness toward others. “Rising through knowledge and shining through the heart”. Here, these words come alive in every gesture, every exchange, every moment lived together.
Our school also offers an exceptional setting, nestled in a green haven in the heart of Montréal. This peaceful environment naturally invites calm, reflection and well-being; it fully contributes to the flourishing and success of each student.
Our students say it so well: “Once a Marcelline, always a Marcelline.” This sincere attachment, shared by our alumni and families alike, speaks to the deep and lasting bonds that are established here.
We look forward to meeting your child, understanding what drives them, and walking alongside them. We will be there to support them, encourage them and offer them an environment where they can grow in confidence and chart their own path.

Rest assured, here, you will be welcomed with open arms, and you will quickly feel right at home.
