The Collège Saint-Charles and the Marist Brothers in Charlesbourg
The Académie de Charlesbourg was founded in 1904. The Marist Brothers found refuge in Quebec after the separation of the Church and State in France at the turn of the century. With their reputation as good teachers, they were recruited by the parish priest of Charlesbourg, Monsignor Louis-David Gosselin, who was looking for an institution to educate the peasants’ sons. The school was enlarged in 1943. Apart from the period between 1914 and 1922 when they aided France in the war, the Marist Brothers remained in Charlesbourg until 1962, when they were replaced by lay people.

In 1727, Raymond Bertrand obtained permission from Intendant Dupuy to run a country school in Charlesbourg. From his home, the schoolmaster taught reading, arithmetic, geography and history for six hours a day. A century later, the number of one-room schools had grown. This one was photographed in Charlesbourg around 1900.
