History
Founded in 1896, Loyola High School started life as Loyola College (an 8 year classical college or "collège classique") which assumed responsibility for the English section of Collège Sainte-Marie de Montréal, a French Jesuit school which existed from 1848 to 1969. In 1964, the Loyola High School Corporation was established to run the School separately from the College. When Loyola College merged with Sir George Williams University in 1974 to form Concordia University, title to the land that the School occupied on the north-east corner of the campus was transferred from the College. To this day, Loyola has remained true to the Jesuit commitment of educating "Men for Others" who are intellectually competent, open to growth, religious, loving, and committed to doing justice.
