History

[edit]

The "Catholic Greek Welfare Society" wanted to occupy girls in a workhouse. The first two sisters arrived in 1909 and in 1913 they established an orphanage.[1]

In 1934, the Sisters of Charity, from Besançon, built the Holy Institution Jeanne-Antide.

Demographics

[edit]

Today, the school comprises more than 1000 students from pre-kindergarten to High school.[citation needed]
