In 1967, cegeps were established in the province of Quebec, following the criticism brought by the Rapport Parent.
This legislation led to the construction of twelve cegeps in Quebec, including the Cégep de Sainte-Foy.
Actually, in 1862, the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools[1] created The Quebec Commercial Academy, located on Auteuil's street, which welcomed one hundred and fifty anglophone students.
Having proven themselves as a credible educational facility, they moved once again in 1893 to Cook's street and were in the obligation to expand the establishment to Chauveau's Avenue, due to the excessive number of students attending the school.
In reason of its growing clientele, The Quebec Commercial Academy sold its installations, which were located at the center of Vieux-Québec,[2] to the provincial government.
