Education and Religion

Montreal's public schools are administered by two school boards—one that oversees schools serving English-speaking students, and one that oversees schools serving French-speaking students. There are also a number of private classical, technical, and professional schools. Institutions of higher learning include the English-language McGill University and Concordia University, and the French-language University of Montreal and a branch of the University of Quebec.

Most of the people are Roman Catholic and there are many Catholic churches. Among Montreal's beautiful churches, both Catholic and Protestant, are Notre Dame, Christ Church Cathedral, and Mary Queen of the World Cathedral. The city is the seat of a Roman Catholic archbishop and an Anglican bishop.
