Collège préuniversitaire Nouvelles Frontières

The beginnings of what was to become the College Nouvelles Frontières are the result of the wish expressed in 1992 by the Collège Saint-Alexandre college committee to offer young people in the Outaouais a choice of college studies that, Of the CÉGEPS network no longer existed in the region (the apostolic college of Saint-Alexandre only had secondary school). Established on October 15, 1997 under the name of the Saint-Alexandre Pre-University College under Part III of the Quebec Companies Act, unlike its parent institution, the College established a Secular Board of Directors. Thus was born a non-profit corporation working in the field of post-secondary and secondary education. Initially, the Saint-Alexandre Pre-University College is considering a partnership with the Campus Notre Dame de Foy, the Teccart Institute, the Mérici College and the Petit Séminaire de Québec to form a larger private collegiate institution. Various pitfalls do not allow this project to happen, and the Saint-Alexandre Pre-University College is negotiating with the Federal Department of Public Works and Government Services to lease the former management school of the government and shelter its activities . The institution welcomed its first students to the pre-university (college) level in September 1998, ie 9 students per 10 teachers at the lesson!
