Type of School

Centennial is an inclusive college that strives to meet the needs of diverse learners. Our goal is to fully prepare students for further education at the university level.

Establishment

Centennial College first opened its doors as a small, privately owned school in 1969 and is part of a larger institution called Centennial Academy.

Location

Residential N.D.G.

Accreditation

In 1975, the College was reconstituted as a non-profit corporation owned by parents and managed by an elected Board of Directors. Originally offering courses from Grades 7 to 12, Centennial was granted the right to offer both Secondary and College programs when Grade 12 was abolished in Quebec. Thus it became unique among educational institutions in the English-speaking sector, serving both a co-educational secondary and collegial clientele.
