Brossard is well placed for further studies: several private schools and two major CEGEPs (Quebec’s pre-university and technical colleges) are just minutes away, in Saint-Lambert and Longueuil. Here’s an overview for parents and students.
Private high schools near Brossard
- Collège Durocher Saint-Lambert, in Saint-Lambert;
- Collège Charles-Lemoyne, which has a Longueuil–Saint-Lambert campus;
- other private schools are located elsewhere on the South Shore, notably in Longueuil.

How private school admissions work
- open houses are held mainly in September and October;
- most schools hold an entrance exam in the fall of Grade 6;
- have your child’s Grade 5 and Grade 6 report cards ready;
- visit several schools: school transportation, schedules, extracurricular activities and fees vary a lot.
In Quebec, many private schools are subsidized, which lowers tuition. Other costs still need to be included in the family budget: uniforms, transportation, supplies, trips.
Nearby CEGEPs
- Champlain College Saint-Lambert: a public English-language CEGEP in Saint-Lambert, right next to Brossard.
- Cégep Édouard-Montpetit: a large French-language CEGEP in Longueuil, which also includes the École nationale d’aérotechnique in Saint-Hubert.
