Collège Saint-Alexandre

Collège Saint-Alexandre is an educational campus located at 2425 rue Saint-Louis that provides French-language instruction to students from grades 1 through 5. The property encompasses multiple buildings and facilities designed to support daily classes and school operations.

The site began as a manor house built in 1850 for politician Alonzo Wright on extensive grounds. Jesuit priests purchased the property in 1894 and established it as an educational institution.

The school serves as a hub for French-language education where students engage in theatrical productions, choir performances, and art events throughout the year. These cultural activities shape the school community and define how students experience their time here.

The campus is well organized with distinct areas for classrooms, sports facilities, and student activities. Visitors should check in at the main office upon arrival and follow site guidelines for access and movement around the property.

The school carries the motto 'Vitam Impedere Vero,' which means dedicating life to truth and has guided the community since receiving heritage status in 1996. This Latin principle remains central to how the school defines itself.
