Collège François-de-Laval

Collège François-de-Laval (French pronunciation: [kɔlɛʒ fʁɑ̃swa də laval]; previously Petit Séminaire de Québec [pəti seminɛʁ də kebɛk]) is a private French-language Roman Catholic secondary school in the Vieux-Québec area of Quebec City, Quebec.

In 1985, the seminary transferred the secondary school to a new secular not-for-profit organization, "le Collège François-de-Laval", which was given the right to use the "Petit Séminaire de Québec" name.

A separate organization with a similar name, the Petit séminaire diocésain de Québec, is a residential school for boys considering the Roman Catholic priesthood, managed by the Séminaire de Québec.

Many French-Canadian clergy of the 18th and 19th century, as well as innumerable academics, went through the Petit Séminaire before higher education became widely accessible.

Of these, 118 became priests or brothers, and 80 chose other occupations, according to research by historian Mgr Amédée Gosselin.
