MONTREAL – Queen of Angels Academy, a semi-private secondary school for girls in Dorval, is set to close at the end of the 2014 school year.
The reason is being attributed to the significant decrease in enrolment over the past seven years.
In 2006-07, there were 515 students attending the academy, while currently there are 186 enrolled at the school.
In July, the school put up almost a quarter of land on its campus in an attempt to boost its revenues.

In order to make up the costs of declining enrolment, the school was forced to increase its fees, which have doubled since 2006.
