Schools In Westmount, Quebec

Most countries have systems of formal education, which is sometimes compulsory. In these systems, students progress through a series of schools that can be built and operated by both government and private organization. The names for these schools vary by country (discussed in the '' Regional terms'' section below) but generally include primary school for young children and secondary school for teenagers who have completed primary education. An institution where higher education is taught is commonly called a university college or university. In addition to these core schools, students in a given country may also attend schools before and after primary (elementary in the U.S.) and secondary (middle school in the U.S.) education.

English-language Schools In Quebec
English is a West Germanic language that developed in early medieval England and has since become a global lingua franca. The namesake of the language is the Angles, one of the Germanic peoples that migrated to Britain after its Roman occupiers left. English is the most spoken language in the world, primarily due to the global influences of the former British Empire (succeeded by the Commonwealth of Nations) and the United States. English is the third-most spoken native language, after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish; it is also the most widely learned second language in the world, with more second-language speakers than native speakers. English is either the official language or one of the official languages in 57 sovereign states and 30 dependent territories, making it the most geographically widespread language in the world. In the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, it is the dominant language for historical reasons without being explici ...

Ethel Seath
Ethel Seath (February 5, 1879 – April 10, 1963) was a Canadian artist. Seath was a prominent figure on the Montreal art scene for sixty years and her artistic work included being a painter, printmaker (etching), commercial artist, and art instructor at the all-girls private school, The Study, in Montreal.

She spent two decades as a commercial illustrator for various newspapers, the '' Montreal Witness'' and later the ''Montreal Star'', constantly improving with supportive mentors at the companies.

The Caroline Rhea Show
''The Caroline Rhea Show'' is an American syndicated variety/talk show hosted by Caroline Rhea. It premiered on September 2, 2002, and ran until May 21, 2003. The show was regarded as the successor to ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show''; Rosie O'Donnell selected Rhea, who had hosted the last few weeks of ''Rosie'', as her replacement. Format In many ways, ''The Caroline Rhea Show'' was similar to its predecessor ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'' and the more successful ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show''; all three programs were daytime talk shows that were run like nighttime talk shows, with monologues and house bands and celebrity (and sometimes non-celebrity) guests. Publications including ''USA Today'' and ''Emmy'' regarded ''Rhea'' as the successor to ''Rosie''. Unlike O'Donnell's daytime show, on which audience members opened the shows by announcing the day's guests, announcer Chip Zien would begin each episode by saying, "Live from New York, it's ''The Caroline Rhea Show''!
