Enter a welcoming environment that encourages openness to learning and life. At Kells Academy, we understand that each student is unique with experiences, interests and cultural lifestyles that are all their own. Since we first opened our doors in 1978, we have recognized that a one-size-fits-all approach to learning does not work. Our challenge is to understand these differences and provide an innovative environment that celebrates uniqueness while offering a diversity of learning approaches, ensuring our students a learning experience that is rich and meaningful.

At Kells, flexibility is key. It's also what distinguishes us from other schools. The curriculum provides the structure,  yet its implementation is adaptable. We develop individualized programs, allowing students to work within their comfort zone, which may be above, below, or at grade level.

A Kells student becomes a confident student, secure in knowing that their school is always one step ahead of the changing world we live in. We succeed in the classroom and online with our e-Kells distance learning division. We are ready to teach and learn in all ways. A Kells student is proud to be part of our community of leaders, educators, and parents who are all working together to create an extraordinary school experience.

We strive to create and maintain a sense of community that helps students feel included and gives them the opportunity to grow in confidence as well as make friends. Kells students are invited to participate in our student council, various clubs and interest groups, and sports teams. We organize day field trips, overnight visits, and a wide range of extracurricular activities throughout the year.

At each grade, two or three programs are offered allowing students to learn within their own competency level. Programs promote an understanding and appreciation not only of the language, but of the cultural values of the society in which we live. Students may also elect to study other subjects in French, further enriching the experience. Our French program conveys linguistic concepts while promoting an understanding and appreciation of the cultural values of the society in which we live.

At Kells Academy, we embrace technology as a powerful asset to making learning more interesting, fun and relevant. Through technology, we are able to better personalize and customize learning. While nothing can replace the personal motivation and help that students receive from working directly with their teacher, we see our many technological aids as being a most powerful and innovative tool for helping students prepare for the future.

We are proud leaders in our region in the integration of technology into the classroom, with all Kells students benefitting from laptop and iPad availability and use in the classroom. However, rather than teaching computer skills in isolation, we strive to use these technologies across the breadth of our teaching programs, arming our students with the skills they need to succeed in any field, in our increasingly interconnected society. As such, students conduct online research and create presentations, projects, blogs and web pages, harnessing the power of technology in countless ways.

With our well-equipped computer lab, as well as a host of laptop carts and Smart Boards, both students and teachers have immediate access to today’s most powerful learning tools. A continuous technology-training program for teachers enhances their students’ learning with the latest instructional techniques, as they integrate technology into every aspect of our curriculum. Students are encouraged to use a wide variety of electronic resources, often augmenting information with links to graphic presentations, photographs, and sound files, relative to the academic subject and audience. As a result, what begins as a simple critical review of a summer book might easily grow into an advanced audio/video presentation, and a more rewarding and captivating experience for students and audiences alike.
