standing out with the distinction program
At Villa Maria, in addition to promoting students’ academic, personal and social development, we encourage them to excel, which is why we have created the Distinction Program.
This program enables students who wish to enrich their studies to earn additional credits recognized by the Ministère de l’Éducation et de l’Enseignement supérieur (MEES). These additional credits appear on their report card. These students will also receive a certificate and a special mention on their diploma.
