French name: Ecole JMC (Jeunes musulmans canadiens). The largest Islamic day school in Montreal by enrolment (approximately 511 students per its profile with the Federation des etablissements d'enseignement prives, FEEP). A private francophone community school covering preschool through secondary, teaching in French with English and Arabic as second and third languages; it also runs an 'Ecole Arabe' program, the Garderie Katkout daycare, extracurriculars and a cafeteria. Founded in 2006 by Layla Sawaf, a physician and educator (from the school's own 'Notre ecole' page description). The phone number is given on the FEEP profile with extension 224. FEEP membership is not the same as a Ministry permit, so ministry status is left unconfirmed. Co-ed/segregation policy is not stated.
