Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
The first step is to fill out the online admissions application form. No examination is required for students coming from an AEFE school or recognized by the French Ministry of National Education and for students entering kindergarten. For all other students, an admissions examination is required. A confirmation of registration for the examination will be sent by the registrar after the admissions form is received. The decision is made after the examination.
Loans and bursaries may be granted by the Ministère de l'Éducation du Québec at the college level (Cegep 1 and Cegep 2). Scholarships (all levels) may be awarded by the AEFE to French nationals registered on the register of French citizens abroad who have submitted a file within the prescribed deadlines. For the 2026/2027 academic year, the first campaign is open from January 6, 2026 to March 4, 2026. The CIMF also offers an internal CIMF scholarship for non-French families (secondary and college levels only) to reduce tuition fees. It is subject to means testing. To apply, parents must write to cpte.recevoir@cimf.ca to obtain the application form; the deadline is March 23, 2026. A committee will inform parents of the decision. This is an exceptional and temporary aid; eligibility is limited to non-French students in secondary and college with one year of seniority at the College. Dossiers can be collected from Mme Sobela in the Administrative and Financial Services.
Collège International Marie de France (CIMF) is a private school located in Montréal at 4635 Queen Mary. It is affiliated with the AEFE network and delivers the French national curriculum alongside the Québec model, preparing students for two French diplomas: the Diplôme National du Brevet (end of 3e) and the Baccalauréat Français (1ère and Terminale). Eight Baccalauréat specialties are offered, and progression supports two streams with options across humanities, sciences, languages, and economics. The school operates from Maternelle through Lycée, with English study beginning in early years and additional languages introduced from CM2. CIMF's campus includes an auditorium of 300 seats, two libraries with around 20,000 titles, a cafeteria, computer and science labs, and a dedicated IT team. Extracurriculars span STEM, arts, languages and community service, including Genius Club, Robotics and Chess, as well as extensive performing arts and music programs. The school welcomes families from roughly seventy nationalities worldwide.
