Trafalgar School for Girls


Trafalgar School for Girls is a private anglophone secondary school in Downtown Montreal, Quebec. The school serves students at Secondary I - V levels, i.e. ages 11–12 to 16–17. The total enrollment is 200, the student-teacher ratio is 8:1, and the average class size is a range from 10 to 20.
The site is within the Golden Square Mile, which, when the school opened in 1887, was the richest neighbourhood in Canada. The idea came from a wealthy merchant named Donald Ross. The institute received funds from Anne Scott and Donald Smith, 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal and other prominent residents of Montreal. The school's curriculum was designed to prepare girls for higher education, although only a small minority actually went to university.
The Montreal Hoshuko School, a weekend Japanese school, rents classroom space there.
