École secondaire Sophie-Barat is a Francophone public co-educational secondary school located in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough in Montreal, Quebec. Part of the Centre de services scolaire de Montréal (CSSDM), it was originally in the Catholic School board Commission des écoles catholiques de Montréal (CECM) before the 1998 reorganization of School boards from religious communities into linguistic communities in Quebec. In 2019, the school has 1,666 students^[1] and 115 teachers.

History

This establishment is the oldest of the CSSDM. Between 1856 and 1858, the Dames du Sacré-Coeur erected the Pensionnat du Sacré-Coeur devoted to the young girls of the francophone bourgeoisie. Destroyed by fire in 1929, the building was reconstructed in 1930. In 1970, the building was sold and became the French public secondary mixed school École secondaire Sophie-Barat.^[2]

The School

The establishment has four stories and contains mainly regular classrooms, rooms for computer labs, science labs, plastic art workshops, a music room, two canteens, a library and an auditorium. The school also comprises three gymnasiums and a swimming pool.^[3]
