The process has three steps: Step 1 Preparation (documents include Grade 4 and Grade 5 report cards, birth certificate with names of guardians, proof of Canadian citizenship if not born in Canada, English Eligibility certificate, IEP/learning assessment if applicable, and optional reference letters); Step 2 Complete Application (submit the form in full, use the Admissions Portal, upload required documents, and pay a $50 application fee); Step 3 Next Steps (after the deadline, applicants take part in an Activity Day with time slots communicated by email in early October). After review, application decisions are sent by email and posted in the Admissions Portal; applicants are accepted, not accepted, or placed on a waiting list. Incoming Secondary 2–5 information notes that Loyola will know openings in spring/summer before the new school year and that the applicant must be English-language eligible.

Scholarships

Financial aid supports qualified students who demonstrate financial need and is not contingent on academic performance or extracurricular achievement. The program provides full and partial bursaries. Admission is need-blind, so applying for financial aid does not affect admission decisions. About 17% of students receive some financial aid each year through the Loyola High School Foundation. Financial aid is awarded through Apple Financial Services, with a Financial Aid Committee reviewing recommendations. General deadlines for financial aid follow acceptance (the standard deadline is two weeks after notice of acceptance); Loyola families with direct Loyola connections may apply through the Early Application Process, with decisions in early November; returning students reapply by Spring Break with decisions in early June. The application process requires uploading tax returns and related documents; a $137.50 Apple Financial Services application fee applies, with potential surcharges for certain family situations. Family discounts include a 5% reduction for the second child and a 10% reduction for subsequent children; multiple payment options are available (1-, 2-, or 10-payment plans).

Waitlist

Applications may result in a waiting list. Decisions are communicated by email and posted in the Admissions Portal. Being placed on the waiting list means a space may become available later; the waiting list uses the same evaluation framework as regular applicants and does not change the fundamental admission criteria.

Governance and Ownership

Villa Maria is a private co-ed high school providing secondary education in English and French. It is recognized as being in the public interest by the Quebec Ministry of Education and operates in two sectors: one French, the other English.

Curriculum

Villa Maria provides secondary education in English and French in a bilingual environment. The curriculum grid follows the Quebec Ministry of Education and Higher Education and includes all prescribed subjects. The study programs are designed in line with the Quebec Education Program to guide students toward higher education by providing essential resources. The Science and Technology profile consolidates and expands students' scientific training and is a prerequisite for many pre-university or technical programs offered at the college level. The Citizenship and Culture program has been implemented, replacing the former Ethics and Religious Culture program, focusing on citizenship, culture, and critical thinking. Villa Maria operates two educational sectors: one French and the other English.

Higher Education Progression

The curriculum aligns with the Quebec Education Program to prepare students for higher education, including pathways to pre-university and technical programs.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

Villa Maria supports social and emotional development through a Universal Prevention Program that helps students make informed, constructive choices about their own behaviours. A School Climate Coordinator leads wellbeing initiatives and coordinates student support services. Guidance Counselling covers academics, personal and social development, and provides short-term counselling and referrals when needed. A Student Services Counter provides a central access point for help during the school day. The school uses an Individual Education Plan to coordinate interventions for students whose academic success may be affected by social‑emotional, behavioural, or adjustment challenges.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Remedial education services are provided by specialized educators who evaluate and assist students experiencing difficulties with reading, writing, mathematics or learning disabilities. They participate in developing intervention plans and support teaching staff in their interventions. Special Education Technicians work with students likely to experience behavioural, social or learning difficulties, developing activities and applying specialized techniques within intervention plans. They help students organize themselves and develop study plans, and may refer to other specialists as needed. The Individual Education Plan coordinates these interventions to promote growth, well-being and success for each student.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Languages offerings include English-language programs in the English Sector: Regular English Second Language builds on prior progress to develop essential grammar, literature and writing skills; Enriched English Second Language supports stronger English communication; English Mother-Tongue targets higher proficiency for advanced English learners. The English Sector aims to promote reading, writing and media literacy in English, developing a broad range of texts and communicative abilities. English language instruction is complemented by a bilingual school environment where daily activities occur in both English and French. These programs prepare students for post‑secondary education and diverse career paths.

Mental Wellbeing

Guidance Counselling helps students develop a positive self-image and appropriate social skills and provides short-term counselling and referral to outside professionals when appropriate. Villa Maria's Universal Prevention Program supports healthier choices and strengthens interpersonal communication to promote wellbeing. The Individual Education Plan coordinates targeted support for students whose social‑emotional or adjustment challenges affect learning. A School Climate Coordinator and a team of Special Education Technicians support student wellbeing and safety, and the Student Services Counter offers accessible assistance during the day.

Safeguarding

Villa Maria has adopted a Safe School policy to ensure a healthy environment that fosters diversity, equality and inclusion. The procedures align with the Private Education Act and the National Student Ombudsman Act, including plans to prevent bullying and violence and to inform students and parents about complaint processes. A reporting form is available for cases of bullying, violence or sexual violence, and the school provides support measures for victims, witnesses, and sanctions or supports for perpetrators. The school maintains a Safe School Action Plan and a Universal Prevention Program, and provides resources for students and parents, including a School Climate Coordinator and a network of contacts for further help.

Major optional items (exam registrations, tablets, trips, extracurriculars) are billed separately and should be recorded as additional-charge categories.

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The College prioritizes activities that promote students' holistic development, well-being, expression of talents, autonomy, and learning to live in society through artistic, cultural, sports, technological, and community projects. The Service à la Vie Étudiante (SVE) offers enriching experiences within the College through activities led by experienced educators who are practitioners in their field. These experiences complement academic studies and foster talent development, self-fulfillment, civic awareness, a sense of belonging, teamwork, and community spirit, as well as leadership development. They give Elementary, Secondary, and College students opportunities to recognize their strengths, feel pride, and push beyond limits. The SVE provides a broad range of cultural and sports activities, including the Arts and Culture Festival and a wide program of sports with 21 competitive teams, and it supports events such as the Bal de Seconde and citizen-themed days. Its mission is to work with all educational services to promote belonging, well-being, and holistic development for all students.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

Support for students in difficulty includes tutoring, mental health support, perseverance, and inclusion. The College's well-being and health initiatives include interventions, training for safety monitors, and preventive health education workshops. In partnership with the Service à la Vie Étudiante (SVE), the Foundation contributes to hiring a psychosocial interventionist and to creating a dedicated space within the College. This support fosters inclusion and access to resources for students who need additional assistance.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Several modern language courses are offered. These language offerings support the College's international reach. The AEFE network of French schools contributes to international opportunities.

Mental Wellbeing

The Institutional Policy on student well-being and mental health aims to promote a positive school climate, an inclusive, safe, and caring environment.

In addition, the Foundation funds a psychosocial intervenor to strengthen student well-being.

Safeguarding

The Code of Ethics applies to all staff and anyone working with students, establishing expectations for professional conduct and safeguarding. The institutional policy aims to prevent and address safeguarding concerns, ensuring a safe environment for students. The policies outline reporting guidelines and partnerships with external services to support protection.
