History
A school opens in the late 1950'S

From an East Montreal family, Jean-Paul Morin founded LaSalle College in 1959. This Canadian entrepreneur's mission is to create job opportunities for the Québec population by providing education that is in line with job market demands.
It all starts in the LaSalle borough of Montréal, which gave the College its name. In response to the growing demand in administrative labour at the time, the College offers its first program in secretarial training. The school taught the famous Speedwriting method, along with Nancy Taylor’s charm and finishing course.
On the lookout for the latest pedagogical trends, Mr. Morin went from innovation to success, continually adding more programs through the years. He moved to downtown Montréal in 1962. Passionate about fashion and driven to innovate, Jean-Paul Morin created the first fashion school in Canada in 1973. Its reputation continued to grow, to become the largest fashion school in the country.
