The Study is an English-language private education all-girls school in Westmount, Quebec. The school was founded in 1915 by a young Englishwoman named Margaret Gascoigne. The Study offers a bilingual mother tongue education to 386 students from Kindergarten to grade 11. As of 2016, a certificate of eligibility for English instruction is no longer required for any grade as The Study does not receive government subsidies. [1] [2]
