Coordinator’s Message
Kells Academy’s Pre-University Grade 12 program replaces the traditional two years of CEGEP in Quebec, giving students a direct path into a four-year university program. Since its launch in 2017, it has successfully prepared students for admission to top universities in Quebec, across Canada, and around the world. More than just a bridge to higher education, Kells Grade 12 equips students with the skills and mindset to truly thrive once they get there.
Grade 12 is a transformative time of personal and academic growth. Our program is thoughtfully designed to offer both strong support and the freedom students need to develop independence and confidence. Alongside a focus on academic excellence, students are encouraged to lead, create initiatives, contribute through service, and engage in a wide range of extracurricular opportunities.
With five rigorous program streams tailored to diverse goals and interests, we ensure every graduate is fully prepared for their next academic step. Our 100% university acceptance rate and substantial scholarship offers from prestigious institutions around the world speak to the strength of our approach.
Step into Kells Grade 12, and you’ll find a dynamic, inclusive, and forward-looking community. Here, students discover their strengths, refine their skills, and prepare not just for university—but for life.
After receiving her Masters's in Education from New York University, Ms. Bailey taught in the New York City school system. She joined Kells as a history teacher in the Language Center in 2017 before transitioning to her post as Grade 12 Coordinator in 2020.
In her current position, Ms. Bailey’s primary objectives are to help our Grade 12 students graduate with an Ontario grade 12 diploma and navigate the labyrinth of higher education and make choices best suited to their individual skills and future career goals.
Extensive experience with both the US and Canadian educational systems makes Ms. Bailey very well suited to the task of advising students. In individual sessions with each student, she gets to know and understand them better, and together they formulate a plan for the future. She assists with the completion of the University admission form and other pre-requisites for admission and also helps with mapping their career path. The goal is to make optimal choices in finding a University best suited to their skills, thus ensuring professional success. One of our proud parents of a recent grade 12 graduate attributes her son's success to Ms. Bailey's dedication:
“I can’t thank you enough for caring, encouraging, pushing, and just being there. His success is also your success.”
Every Grade 12 student avails themselves of Ms. Bailey’s experience and expertise in order to make their transition from High School to University as easy and as seamless as possible.
