Physical Education & Sports

Athletic participation and competition are an important part of the Kells experience and all students are encouraged to get involved through physical education classes, intramural sports, and competitive teams.

The intent of the physical education program is to enable all students to enhance their quality of life through promotion of active living, exposure to a wide variety of activities, and the development of appropriate skills and attitudes.

Through participation on competitive teams through the Greater Montreal Athletic Association, students learn dedication, sportsmanship, teamwork, and perseverance. Moreover, they learn that success is measured in making a commitment and rising to the challenge, regardless of the outcome. In addition, interpersonal and leadership skills are emphasized and the opportunity to develop personal fitness is encouraged. During the 2023-2024 academic year, Kells Academy was awarded the School Sportsmanship Award, recognizing our participation in soccer, volleyball, golf, basketball, futsal, swimming, badminton, frisbee, and Halo Race. We also received the Gold Medal in Halo Cross-Country Race, the Silver Medal in both the Team and Individual Badminton championships, and the Silver Medal in Ultimate Frisbee. Most recently, the Boys' Soccer team received the Silver Medal in their Fall 2024 season.

Intramural and Drop-in activities are available throughout the school year as well for students who are looking for extra recreational time in a non-competitive atmosphere. Various inter-school tournaments are organized as well as recreational clubs and drop in gym times.
