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.
