It is located on Rosemont Boulevard at 15th Avenue in the Montreal borough of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. Collège Jean-Eudes is considered to be one of the best schools in Quebec as ranked by the Fraser Institute.^[1][2][3] College Jean-Eudes was one of the first schools to instigate the use of the iPad in class during the autumn of 2012.^[4][5] Students must wear uniforms.
