Villa Maria: an exceptional school.
Villa Maria’s students enjoy a wide range of services and facilities providing a motivating environment that meets their needs:
- An ultra-modern library with two rooms reserved for group work
- A multimedia centre at the cutting edge of technology
- A welcoming cafeteria
- A relaxing student lounge where students can relax or play different games (ping pong, baby foot, etc.)
Multimedia Centre
At Villa Maria, we put innovation to work for learning. The school is equipped with facilities at the cutting edge of technology, including a multimedia production centre with a film studio and eight editing rooms. These high-quality facilities allow students to carry out multimedia projects in a unique learning environment.
Students use the media centre on a scheduled basis with the multimedia teacher, or with other teachers in the course of multidisciplinary projects. They can also work there during their lunch break or after school until 4:30 p.m.
At Villa Maria, students enrich their knowledge and learn basic techniques such as video editing using semi-professional software used in the industry, etc. By the end of their high-school years, students will have acquired basic multimedia skills. They will encounter the same tools and software at CEGEP should they opt for studies in the graphic arts, communications, multimedia or other related fields.
Multimedia projects are highly popular with students who find them to be an exciting way of expressing themselves. On group projects, they develop a common language as they work towards a collective goal.
Our multimedia department provides support to students, teachers and school staff on educational or extracurricular activities, shows, plays and concerts.
