School Overview

StFX is located in the beautiful and historic town of Antigonish, Nova Scotia. StFX is known for the quality of our teaching, small class sizes creating an intimate and collaborative learning environment, and our valuable hands-on learning and research opportunities for undergraduates. We offer an academic education of the highest quality, as StFX focuses on intellectual and spiritual development, global awareness and a commitment to social justice. You'll find hands-on research opportunities that rival (and often surpass) those found in larger schools. Our small classrooms foster lively debate and discussion where professors inspire you to achieve. We offer a residential community experience where students live and learn together, and the friendships formed can last a lifetime. There are opportunities to study abroad at over 40 universities worldwide, or for international students to study here and experience Nova Scotia and StFX for a semester or a year.
