Every student needs a place to belong before they can become who they are meant to be.
Kells Academy is an English language independent school in Montreal where students are known, understood, and supported to grow. From Kindergarten to Grade 11, students benefit from small classes, personal attention, and nearly five decades of experience supporting a wide range of learners.
For families looking beyond Grade 11, Kells offers a distinct one year pre university Grade 12 program designed to prepare students for direct entry to university.
French speaking students can strengthen their English while continuing to maintain and develop their French, allowing them to move forward without losing an important part of their language and identity.
With students representing 35 nationalities and a 100 percent university acceptance rate from our pre university Grade 12 program, Kells offers a personal, globally minded education across three closely connected Montreal campuses.
No Certificate of Eligibility required.
