The Îlot-Trafalgar-Gleneagles is a historic block in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, located on Côte-des-Neiges Road, on the west slope of Mount Royal. Recognized in 2002 as an historic site by the Quebec government's Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec, the area features four buildings: The Gleneagles, a Scottish Baronial building completed by architects Ross and Macdonald in 1929; the Château Style Trafalgar Building, built in 1931, with seven to twelve stories; and the Thompson (1907) and Sparrow (1910) houses.At the time of their 2002 historic designation, the Thompson and Sparrow residences had been facing demolition. A plan by Canderel Corporation to build a 10-story tower on the site of the homes was blocked by the Quebec government just days before then-mayor Pierre Bourque had been set to approve the plan. In addition to the historic classification of the Îlot-Trafalgar-Gleneagles, the provincial government's Commission des biens culturels du Québec also worked with the city to extend the perimeter of Mount Royal's protected area to include the site.

St. George's School of Montreal
St. George's School of Montreal

St. George's School of Montreal is an independent school in Montreal, Quebec, Canada founded in 1930. It consists of two campuses: the elementary school campus in Westmount, Quebec, and the high school campus in Montreal just 15 minutes' walk from Beaver Lake and Mount Royal Park. The school is a co-educational, non-denominational day school, where students do not wear school uniforms, except during physical education class. St. George's School of Montreal is a member of The Quebec Association of Independent Schools (QAIS), The Canadian Accredited Independent Schools (CAIS), and The National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). St. George's was founded by a small group of parents who, inspired by the movement for progressive education, rejected the authoritarian ways associated with conventional education. They believed that learning should be a natural and enjoyable activity related to the developmental stages and needs of the child. During most of the 20th century it was notable for being one of the most avant garde, liberal and innovative schools in the province of Quebec, largely due to its child-centered philosophy (which was quite exceptional in the 1930s, and unique in Montreal). The school's pedagogy is guided by its Founding Principles: (1) The child should have abundant opportunity for creative expression; (2) Adapt education to the differences of the individual child; (3) Health must come first; (4) Group-consciousness and social-mindedness should be developed; (5) Learning comes from doing; (6) The classroom should be freed from unnatural restraints.St. George's is a day school, however there is a family boarding program for international students. The annual tuition fees for attending St. George's range from $18,568 to $22,889 for non-international students and up to $52,037 for new international boarding students. As the school receives subsidies from the Quebec government from Grades 7 to 11, all students attending the high school section are required to have a certificate of eligibility allowing them to attend government-funded English schools in accordance with Bill 101.
