CEGEP John Abbott College

Información

      Named after Sir John Abbott, Canada's third prime minister, the College primarily serves the Greater Montreal region, although you can also meet students here from other parts of Quebec and the rest of Canada. The College also has a significant number of international students as part of its community. In total, over 5,600 students are enrolled in the Day Division and about 2,000 in the Continuing Education Division.

      Situated on the most western tip of the island of Montreal, in Ste-Anne de Bellevue, John Abbott enjoys a rural setting just a half hour drive from downtown Montreal. As one of 48 CEGEPs (collège d'enseignement général et professionnel) in Quebec, John Abbott offers two types of programs: Two-year pre-university programs that lead to university, and three-year career or professional programs designed to lead directly to the labour market.

     The mission of John Abbott College is to provide an excellent education for our students within a stimulating learning environment that will enhance their development and potential for success in society.
