In order to obtain a Quebec Secondary School Diploma, students must accumulate a total of 54 credits in Sec.

The aim of the programme is to help students relate the content of the classroom to the realities of the world outside by combining knowledge, experience and critical observation.

The location of the school in the middle of two neighbourhoods attracts students from the culturally rich areas of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and Côte-des-Neiges.

This further establishes the IBO areas of interaction stimulating open minds and diverse thinking; representative of the school's environment.

The group's main objectives are advocacy of peace, democracy, solidarity among citizens, and environmental awareness; similar to that of the Brundtland Green Schools network.
