After 127 years, Loyola High School in Montreal will welcome its first coeducation cohort in September 2023. This historic and exciting change is the fruit of many years of discernment in our community. Welcoming both boys and girls into the Loyola family answers the call of the Universal Apostolic Preferences of the Society of Jesus and allows more young people the opportunity to experience a Jesuit Catholic education in Montreal.

Grounded in faith and the Jesuit way of proceeding, the opportunity for both boys and girls in the community to grow in academics, character, and spiritual formation, the arts, athletics, and leadership allow young people to understand that their role in this world is to be for and with others.

The individuals who make up the Loyola community are the ones who bring our traditions to life, and they have been central to the ongoing reflection and planning in preparation for our first coed cohort this September. Faculty working groups continue to meet and plan around school spaces, professional development, student formation, pedagogy and athletics, the arts, and extracurricular programming.

Our current students have also been involved in large and small group information and sharing sessions to discuss and offer feedback regarding our exciting future. The students continue to give us many ideas and insights, asking great questions. Many of our alumni with sons and daughters are excited about the opportunity to continue the tradition of a Jesuit education in their family.

We’re hopeful and excited about this new chapter in Loyola’s history and welcome any inquiries you may have about our move to coeducation.
