On a bright and hopeful day in June, the Oscar Peterson Concert Hall at Concordia University was filled with applause, laughter, and the occasional happy tear as Kells Academy came together to celebrate its Convocation 2025. This year’s ceremony was more than just a send-off; it was a tribute to the resilience, growth, and accomplishments of our graduates from Grade 6, Grade 11, and Grade 12.

When a team of six Kells Mathletes stepped through the doors of St. George’s in early April, they were nervous, excited, and prepared for a day of challenging math problems and stiff competition. According to one of the team’s members, Norah, “when we walked in, it was a bit intimidating because all the schools participating have amazing reputations and the other teams are so smart. We had to believe in ourselves and be confident so that we could succeed as a team.”

In an era of rapid technological change, Kells Academy continues to stand at the forefront of educational innovation. On a crisp morning in late May, the school hosted a dynamic Professional Breakfast event, welcoming educators, administrators, and thought leaders from across the community for an essential conversation on one of today’s most urgent and trending topics: the role of generative AI (GenAI) in education.

At Kells Academy, innovation, creativity, and scientific excellence are more than just values—they are a way of life. This February, our students lit up the virtual stage with 28 captivating projects at the annual Kells Virtual Science Fair 2025, demonstrating a remarkable blend of problem-solving, curiosity, and real-world application. It was an inspiring display of talent, with each project showcasing the hard work and brilliance of our young scientists.
