Notes
The Ecole chrétienne des Frères also known as the 'Institute of Brothers of the Christian Schools' was founded in France by Jean-Baptiste de La Salle in 1680. The school received the formal approbation of the church in 1725. The Montreal school opened in 1837. The school continues today, one of over a 1,000 affiliated education centers.
