Dear Students,

Welcome to Montreal and to the English Montreal School Board’s International Student Program – Youth Sector! We are thrilled to have you join our vibrant and diverse learning community.

Montreal is a city like no other — a dynamic blend of North American innovation and European charm. From its world-class festivals and multicultural neighborhoods to its rich history and bilingual culture, Montreal offers an unforgettable experience both inside and outside the classroom.

At EMSB, we are proud to be recognized as one of the top-performing English-language school boards in Quebec, with a graduation rate that consistently ranks among the highest in the province. Our schools are known for their academic excellence, dedicated educators, and a strong commitment to student success.

You’ll find that our classrooms are inclusive, welcoming, and supportive of every learner. We celebrate diversity and encourage students to share their unique perspectives, fostering a global mindset and lifelong friendships.

As you begin this exciting journey, know that you are not alone. Our teachers, staff, and fellow students are here to support you every step of the way. We can’t wait to see all that you will accomplish!

Bienvenue! Welcome!

Warm regards,
Sandra Léveillé
