Welcome to John Abbott College!

A message from the Director General

Dear visitors,

Here at John Abbott College, we take pride in being student-centred; everything we do here is focused on providing the best environment for our students to learn within.  There is a lesson to be learned from anything that takes place at the College, whether as part of the classroom experience, or by participating in one of the many student activities that take place every year.  Our experienced staff and faculty see the academic experience as being central to our success and uphold the tradition of keeping our students and their ability to learn as the core of our focus.

The College also has a broad vision for the type of environment we strive to provide.  Our identity incorporates the following slogan: Lakeside View, Global Vision.  This is an indication that while we are providing a service to the greater Montreal community, our outlook goes well beyond the boundaries of the West Island of Montreal.  Our College strives to provide the most relevant education so that our graduates are equipped with the necessary skills to continue their success.  By keeping our finger on the pulse of what our society requires, we can be sure that our students receive the well-rounded and balanced programs that will prepare them for their next steps in the wider world.

I strongly encourage you to look around our website and to visit us in person to get a feel for the College.  I am confident that we can provide the education you are looking for and look forward to welcoming you to the College in the future. I know that you will share my passion for this great institution.

Ginette Sheehy
Director General
