Changes After Construction
The historic building was constructed in 1890 by Italian Jesuit priests.
In 1897, it was purchased by the Lazarist priests and converted into Sainte-Pulchérie Boys’ Secondary School.
In 1919, it was transferred to the Sisters of Charity (Filles de la Charité) and continued its educational activities.
In the early 2000s, a comprehensive renovation and restoration was carried out.
Featured Highlights
The circular dial clock located on the decorated triangular pediment of the front façade has been in operation since the time of its construction.
The school’s name derives from Aelia Pulcheria, a Byzantine empress who lived in the 5th century.
With historical roots dating back to 1846, the institution continues its educational activities today under the name Sainte-Pulchérie French High School.
Within the school, there is a historic chapel that is currently used as a theatre hall.
