TAV College (French: Collège TAV), commonly referred to as TAV, is a bilingual, not-for-profit, private, subsidized[1] college located in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was founded in 1989 by Abraham Boyarsky, a Montreal-based professor of mathematics and statistics, in an academic partnership with Champlain College - Saint-Lambert. Since 1989, TAV's annual enrolment consistently grew and as a result, in 2010, the College requested independent status (accreditation) and became a private college. In 2013, the College expanded its campus with the construction of an approximately 42,000 square-foot building, which is annexed to its original building on Decarie boulevard.[2] By 2018, enrolment continued to climb and TAV College announced its plans to erect a second building approximately 150 meters from its main campus. Construction was completed for Building C in August of 2021 at 6005 boulevard Decarie.
TAV is affiliated with the Association des collèges privés du Québec (ACPQ). Additionally, as a subsidized private college, that is recognized by the Quebec Ministry of Higher Education, international students who graduate from TAV College are eligible to receive a post-graduation work permit.[3]
History[edit]
TAV was originally founded in 1989 as TAT[4] (Torah and Technology School of Montreal) with the goal of providing the chassidic Montreal-Jewish community with secular education and training in order to obtain secular jobs in the Quebec workforce.
It began in an academic partnership with Champlain College - Saint-Lambert and, in 2007, it began a new affiliation with Cégep Marie-Victorin. However, in 2010, the College applied for (and was approved for) independent status and became a private college that is recognized and accredited for subsidies from Quebec's Ministry of Higher Education (Ministère de l'Éducation et de l'Enseignement supérieur).
In 2013, the College built a modern, six-story, 42,000 square-foot building (A building), which is annexed to its original, four-story, campus building (B Building) at 6333 Decarie Boulevard. The A building houses biology, physics, chemistry and 3D-printing science laboratories, a private gym, a café, a mock-daycare laboratory as well as the administrative offices.
TAV College announced[5] in 2018 that it will expand its campus with the construction of a third building (the C Building) in order to accommodate its growing student population of local and international residency. This modern building places a heavy focus on accessibility and transterior design and hosts a large student lounge centre, classrooms, two media production studios, cafeteria, and a study hall. The new building is located 6005 boulevard Decarie, approximately 150 meters from the main campus building.
Although the college remains committed to providing educational services to the Montreal-Jewish community, students are admitted regardless of faith and the curriculum and college environment are secular.
| Year | Name | Milestone |
|---|---|---|
| 1989 | (TAT) Torah and Technology | TAV was located at 6767 Côte-Des-Neiges street, suite #204, and was established as a school (in affiliation with Champlain College Saint-Lambert) to allow men of the chassidic Montreal-Jewish community to gain a secular education, which can lead them to jobs or higher education. At this time, TAV only offered two programs of study: religious studies and computer science (for men only). |
| 1992 | (TAT) Torah and Technology | TAV became the first academic institution in the world to offer a seminary-computer program for Jewish women.[7] |
| 1996 | (TAV) Torah and Vocational | TAV was located at 6445 Decarie Boulevard. It expanded its options for study programs and began offering six (6) study options of varying topics. In addition, it offered special courses for Jewish women and language courses for immigrants. |
| 2010 | (TAV) Technology and Vocational | TAV relocated to a larger building at 6333 Decarie Boulevard, Montreal, Quebec, and applied for independent status. The College was granted independent status in 2010 and received permission to operate as a private college in Montreal. |
| 2013 | (TAV) Technology and Vocational | TAV more than doubled in size with the construction of a modern, six-story building, which became annexed to its original building. After years of focusing on assisting the adult sector with achieving their academic goals, TAV shifted its focus to increasing its younger student population and enhancing its DEC programs. Between the years of 2013 and 2019, the College began to offer over fifteen (15) new programs of study. |
| 2019+ | (TAV) Technology and Vocational | TAV continues to develop its educational services with the construction of a third building located at 6005 Decarie Boulevard. |
Programs[edit]
TAV College offers four distinct categories of programs: Alternative study, pre-university DEC, three-year technical DEC, and AEC career.
Alternative study programs allow students to complete the prerequisites that are needed to be admitted to a pre-university or university program. Pre-university DEC programs are unique to the Quebec higher education system and take two-to-three years to complete. The subject matter of these programs roughly corresponds to the additional year of high school (Grade 12), which is given elsewhere in Canada, as well as university-level preparatory courses. Technical DEC programs combine general education with career-specific training and can take anywhere from three to four years to complete. Technical DEC programs also grant students the basis needed for admission to universities. Lastly, AEC programs vary in length from one to three years and allow graduates to immediately enter the workforce, or to be a qualified specialist in a specific discipline. Graduates from an AEC program do not satisfy the requirements for admission to universities.

TAV College Students' Association[edit]
The TAV College Students' Association (abbreviated: "TCSA," French: "L'AECT") is a team of TAV College student representatives (commonly referred to as The Executive Cabinet) that represent the interests, needs and desires of the TAV College student body as well as advocates for change within the College's existing framework. The TCSA is responsible for managing all student life affairs, which includes: student clubs, events, special projects, competitions and awards.
The election process for the formation of the Executive Cabinet is created via the democratic process where candidates may campaign for individual positions and where students may vote for candidates of each position. The Executive Cabinet of the TCSA is composed of four positions:
- President
- Vice President, Communications
- Vice President, Finance
- Vice President, Operations
The TAV Times[edit]
The TAV Times is the college's official news source, which is published both online and in print. Established in the Fall of 2018, the TAV Times is produced by a staff of TAV College students who write, edit and design content for the publication, which is then published and distributed twice per semester—four times per year.
Sports Teams[edit]
In the Winter of 2021, TAV College formed its first-ever men's hockey team. In the process, the College also created its Sports League, The TAV Blizzards.
Competitions and awards[edit]
The TCSA hosts various competitions throughout the year, which allows students to win prizes and awards. In previous years the college has hosted a foosball competition, a ping-pong competition, a chess competition, Instagram photo contests and event ticket raffles.
