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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is most interesting and valuable in it, however, is not the materials for the history of Pontiac, or Braddock, or the Northwest, which it furnishes; not the annals of the country, but the natural facts, or perennials, which are ever without date. When out of history the truth shall be extracted, it will have shed its dates like withered leaves.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
