Education
Sydney is home to one public English language secondary school: Sydney Academy, which is linked to several elementary and intermediate schools. A French language school, Étoile de l'Acadie is also located in Sydney. Holy Angels, a female-only Catholic high school founded in the late 1800s, closed at end of the 2011 school year.
There are currently no post-secondary institutions within the former city limits. Cape Breton University and the Nova Scotia Community College's Marconi Campus are located several kilometres east of Sydney along Trunk 4 in the community of Victoria Junction and the Canadian Coast Guard College is located in the suburb of Westmount on the west bank of the Sydney River.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I am not describing a distant utopia, but the kind of education which must be the great urgent work of our time. By the end of this decade, unless the work is well along, our opportunity will have slipped by.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Casting an eye on the education of children, from whence I can make a judgment of my own, I observe they are instructed in religious matters before they can reason about them, and consequently that all such instruction is nothing else but filling the tender mind of a child with prejudices.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
