Location
Edinburgh is located in the heart of Montreal West and can be reached by the #162 bus from the Villa Maria Metro.

Philosophy
Edinburgh School offers an early French immersion program. It serves a primarily Anglophone population. Our school addresses the diverse learning styles of its student population. It recognizes students of differing cultural, linguistic and ethnic backgrounds for whom the immersion program may mean learning a third language. We acknowledge gender differences and embrace developing technologies. Our goal is for each child to achieve intellectual and personal growth. At Edinburgh a colour code is mandatory.
