Programs for high school students

Our programs are targeted at increasing the knowledge of high school students in different educational programs and careers, so they can better plan their post-secondary studies and gain confidence in applying to post-secondary institutions. We currently work with underrepresented students in Montreal and Toronto high schools.

McGill University is on land that long served as a site of meeting and exchange amongst
Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. We acknowledge
and thank the diverse Indigenous people whose footsteps have marked this territory on which
peoples of the world now gather.
