Welcome to the Thomas More Institute

Founded in 1945, Montreal’s Thomas More Institute (TMI) provides opportunities for adults of all ages to cultivate their curiosity about wide-ranging questions rooted in a variety of fields. TMI is a secular, liberal arts academic institution that offers university-level discussion courses as well as other opportunities for lifelong learning. Our discussions differ from the lectures offered elsewhere as group members are invited to participate collaboratively in a process of shared inquiry and reflection.

The Institute will be closed on Friday April 3 and Monday April 6, 2026.

Testimonials

For those interested in continuous learning, there is no better place to learn, have deep conversations and make friends.

Cristina MacLean, LL.B., MPA, Family Life Educator.

Designing courses for the Thomas More Institute allows me to dive deeply into topics that interest me and pursue research that goes beyond what I typically do for my job. I find designing these courses to be a very fulfilling and meaningful way to continue to pursue academic research in ways that allow for more flexibility, experimentation, and creativity.
