Inauguration of the Jacques Cartier and McGill Normal Schools

| Abstract |
The Jacques Cartier Normal School was situated in the Château Ramezay, at the corner of Ste. Claude and Notre Dame Streets in Montreal, and was officially opened on the morning of Tuesday, March 3, 1857. The McGill Normal School on Belmont Street in downtown Montreal officially opened on the afternoon of Tuesday, March 3, 1857. The McGill Normal School was initially established to train Protestant teachers in public elementary and model education institutions. The first class included thirty-five women and five men. John William Dawson was the first principal. Students were required to be at least 26 years of age and to produce certificates of good moral character from their clergyman. The Jacques Cartier Normal School was primarily intended to train Francophone teachers for the Roman Catholic population of the districts of Montreal, the Ottawa valley, and Saint-François, and of the town of Trois-Rivières and the part of the district of Trois-Rivières to the west of the town. In 1939, an English section of the Jacques Cartier Normal School was opened, and in 1955 this section became the St. Joseph's Teachers College. In 1970, St. Joseph's Teachers College was integrated into the McGill Faculty of Education.
