Three Schools, One Mission

Instruct, Socialize, and Qualify.

Our school’s mission is to meet the pedagogical and educational needs of each student. The School of Synergy is committed to ensuring that students have a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual balance. Its purpose is to train citizens of the world in a framework where Muslim values, Quebec’s moral and social values, international sensitivity, intercultural respect, and rigorous evaluation coexist.

Preschool

To support children in their first steps in school and contribute to their personal and social development.

Elementary School

A superior quality education where our students progress while respecting values such as benevolence and respect for differences as a whole.

High School

Promote the academic success of each student and ensure his or her intention in society while insisting on Muslim values and the civic values of Quebec.

Our Story

Almost 40 years of transmission of know-how and interpersonal skills

The creation of the first Muslim school in Quebec was intended to provide children with a quality academic education in an environment that fosters self-discovery, integration into Canadian society and the preservation of the community’s cultural, linguistic and religious heritage.

In 1985, under the name of the Muslim Schools of Montreal (MSM), the school opened its doors with only 25 students in preschool and first grade. In 1989, the MEQ granted MSMs accreditation for the purposes of preschool and elementary school grants.

From 1990 onwards, the school continued to develop and obtained the required permit to open general high school education classes on the same site as the elementary school.

In 1996, in response to the MEQ’s request, the school acquired a new building to house high school classes.

The MSMs are members of the Fédération des établissements d’enseignement privé (FÉEP), an association that brings together almost all private institutions in Quebec that teach in French. Membership in the FÉEP allows it to evaluate the quality of services and to establish enriching links with the best Francophone private institutions.

In March 2020, following the results of surveys with various stakeholders, the Board of Directors approved the change of the commercial name of the MSMs by the School of Synergy.

A word from the director

Welcome to our home!

The School of Synergy is a private school that welcomes children from preschool 4 years old to grade 5 at high school. We are particularly proud and happy to invite you to visit our website to find out who we are and what sets us apart from other schools in Quebec.

Language learning (French, English and Arabic) is a priority in our educational project. Thanks to a committed team and the active participation of parents, the trilingual school works hard to develop in our students a strong sense of belonging to the Islamic culture and to achieve excellent academic performance. We prepare our students to be productive citizens who empathize with and respect others in an increasingly diverse global community.

Thus, character development is a shared commitment and a family-school alliance is paramount to accomplishing our mission. Quality education is not only intellectually focused, but also on attitudes, behaviour and consideration for others. To this end, we train our students in all intellectual, social, physical, cultural, moral and spiritual aspects.

Thank you and enjoy your visit!
