History
Established in 1873 by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul, Halifax (as the order was known at the time), Mount Saint Vincent was one of the few institutions of higher education for women and girls in Canada at a time when women could not vote. The original purpose of the academy was to train novices and young sisters as teachers, but the Sisters also recognized a need to educate other young women.

My Few Weeks Experience at the Mount
The Mount takes cognizance of every student. It has a small sized class of 20 students for the graduate levels and this means your lecturers will know you by name and ready to help you grow academically. Generally, the Mount hs conducive learning environment to keep you fit throughout the years of your study ranging from health, physical fitness, food provision, learning support team etc. Studying at the Mount has given me opportunity to better educational research skills and a broader understanding on foundational reading. I am certain there are more to unfold as the years of my study go by.
