Collège de Lévis
The Collège de Lévis is a private Christian high school in Lévis, Quebec. It was founded in 1853 by Joseph-David Déziel. The school was the subject of the radio documentary Raconte-moi mon Collège de Lévis that was broadcast on Radio Canada in 2017. At the time that the documentary was made approximately 36,000 students had attended the school during its more than 160 year history.[1] The school was only open to male students until 1968 when it became a co-educational institution.[2] In 2024 the school built a new 21 million dollar sports complex on its property.[3]
