Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School is an all-girls school located in Westmount, Quebec. It is near many other QAIS schools such as The Study and Selwyn House. It is commonly abbreviated as ECS. The school teaches grades Kindergarten to 11. Their colours are green and white. ==History== Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School was founded in 1909 by Maud Edgar and Mary Cramp. Maud Edgar, for many years headmistress of this private school for girls, was the daughter of the historian and feminist Matilda Ridout Edgar and the lawyer and politician James David Edgar. The school has always been an all-girls school. The school began its life in a home on Guy Street in Downtown Montreal. There were 70 girls at the outset, including 15 Boarders. The Heads’ initial goals were to equip their pupils with a broad understanding of literature, languages, ethics, fine arts, as well as science and mathematics. The most novel feature of the curriculum was the organization of literature and history. Forty years later, the school relocated to a building on Cedar Avenue, on the slope of Mount Royal. By then there were approximately 150 girls attending, with 17 Boarders. The school continued to do very well in this building for another 16 years, but its leaders were always conscious of the need for a space designed and built to be a school. After observing a property at the corner of Mount Pleasant and Montrose Avenue in 1964, the school undertook a major fundraising campaign to make the move possible. The official opening took place in November 1964: at this point, ECS became a dedicated day school. Today the school is located at 525 Mount Pleasant, the property bought in 1964. The school's motto is "Non Nobis Sed Urbi Et Orbi" which translated from Latin to English means "not for ourselves but for the community and the world." The school anthem was written by Isabelle Adami. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miss Edgar's and Miss Cramp's School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
