Collège Sainte-Anne is a private Canadian corporation of Primary, High School and Pre-university schools located in Montreal, Canada, in the boroughs of Lachine and Dorval. It has been ranked as one of the best private schools in Quebec.
Collège Sainte-Anne was founded in 1861 by the Sisters of Saint Anne and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2011, making it one of the oldest schools in Quebec.
The school is composed of five main buildings:
The Main Pavilion (Pavillon Sainte-Anne) is the eldest of the five, built of stones extracted from the nearby Lachine Canal as early as 1861. The building has the shape of the letter E and is divided in three counterparts. The building is famous for its architectural features such as the large dome which can be seen from miles away. The central wing is a library with many technological features such as iPads and eBooks. The rest of the building is divided on either side of the chapel. On the West side of the chapel lies the Convent which is currently being renovated to house the Collégial Sainte-Anne, for students continuing their post-secondary studies at the school. The East side of the chapel is part of the secondary school and is used by students from secondary II to IV, each level on their own floor. However, the fifth floor is open to all students and is divided into a large study hall, two art rooms and two science labs. The building's main features are: the principal and administration offices, two conference rooms and a small auditorium, four science labs, a small cafeteria, the agora, the study hall, the BiblioTEC and the art rooms. This building is linked to the sports complex by an underground tunnel which crosses Lachine's 12th avenue.
The Pavilion Marie-Esther, founded in 1988, is home to the secondary I students. It is named after Mother Marie-Esther Blondin, the foundress of the Sisters and former headmistress of the school. This building's main features are: a 500-seat auditorium (Salle Jeanine-Serres) along with one out of the school's two music rooms with individual cubicles, a cafeteria and a science lab. The third floor of the PME is linked to the fourth floor of the sports complex by an interior walkway.
The Sports Complex is the centerpiece of the schools four buildings. Located between the 11th and 12th avenues and adjacent to the PME, it rises on four floors. The three bottom floors are occupied by the schools sports facilities, however the fourth floor (Pavillon Roger-Gauvin) is exclusive to the secondary V students and holds the name of the former headmaster of the school. This building's main features are: On the lower level; a semi-olympic swimming pool with 1-meter and 3-meters diving boards along with a gymnasium, a music room, a classroom for the Académie Sports et Arts Élite program, a dance hall and a student lounge.
