Trafalgar School for Girls (abbreviated as Traf) is an all-girls independent school located in Downtown Montreal, Quebec. The school serves students at Secondary I – V levels, i.e. ages 11–12 to 16–17. The total enrollment is 200, the student-teacher ratio is 8:1, and the average class size is a range from 10 to 20. [1]
The site is within the Golden Square Mile, which was the richest neighbourhood in Canada when the school opened in 1887. [2] The idea came from a wealthy merchant named Donald Ross. The institute received funds from Anne Scott and Donald Smith, 1st Baron Strathcona and Mount Royal, as well as other prominent residents of Montreal. [2] [1] The school's curriculum was designed to prepare girls for higher education, although only a small minority actually went to university. [3]
The Montreal Hoshuko School, a weekend Japanese school, rents classroom space there. [4] [5]
