Creativity

At LaSalle College, we are masters of the art of learning.

LaSalle College is Canada’s largest fashion school.

LaSalle College is a true creative ecosystem.

Students have access to specialist equipment and facilities (photo studio, Techno-Espace, 3D printer, collaborative classes, etc.) to produce successful creative projects.

Students and graduates have exclusive access to Portfolios, a social platform that showcases their accomplishments, their expertise and their creativity.

 


Entrepreneurship

True to its founder’s values, LaSalle College places entrepreneurship at the heart of its mission.

Each of its programs helps students develop their entrepreneurial spirit. Many activities, clubs, competitions and conferences are available to help students to reach their full potential and brilliantly overcome the challenges of today’s world.

A space is even dedicated to mentoring to help students on all programs to get started in business by working on their ability to manage risks, solve problems and make decisions.

 


Innovation

An online training pioneer in Québec, LaSalle College was the first in the city to integrate virtual reality into its courses.

It stands out for its cutting-edge collaborative classrooms and its technical clothing laboratory, the Techno-Espace.
