Excelling After Graduation: How Our Private High School Prepares Students for University Success

Education is an important aspect of any child’s life, and influences not only their development, but their attitude and perceptions about the world around them and their place in it. Here at Kells, we believe that by providing a more adaptive and supportive learning experience, children receive the necessary attention, encouragement, and independence needed to grow into their best selves.

Their Kells experience teaches them to be thoughtful, receptive, and proactive in their personal and professional lives. Read on to learn more on how our private high school can lead your child to success at university and beyond.

We Emphasize Personal Strengths and Interests

Kells Academy students play a significant role in determining their own curriculum. Every person learns differently, and we believe that in order to guarantee the best possible learning experience, students should progress at their own pace and according to their learning preferences.

The classes at our private high school allow for an attentive, individualized environment that fosters a sense of confidence and success which can ultimately lead our students on to top universities and exceptional careers.

At Kells, we focus on encouraging confidence and individuality

Our students have a variety of resources and tools to help their development both inside and outside of the classroom. Our KEYS centre (Kells Education for Your Success) seeks to inspire our students’ individual learning capabilities as well as a personal sense of confidence. A guidance program is also available to ensure that students make informed choices about their future when the time comes to choose a suitable university.

In addition, we offer one-on-one assistance with the application process as well as letters of recommendation. As a result of our dedication to encouraging students to focus on their academic strengths, we are proud to share a 98% college acceptance rate with our alumni.

Our Private High School Focuses on Maturity and Development

We focus on promoting a diverse and meaningful secondary school experience at Kells because we believe it is an inclusive way to cultivate a strong sense of independence and maturity in our students, and it begins with exposure to new ideas and perceptions. It is important that our students feel supported in their endeavors and find the confidence to be curious and explore new concepts and pursuits. Our close-knit and multicultural community encourages acceptance and appreciation for diversity, and prepares students for a successful future in university and beyond.

For Grade 12 students, we offer an exclusive one-year academic program instead of two years of CEGEP, allowing our students to have a transition year to develop the skills and independence needed for university, while offering the support and structure of a high school environment. We also encourage a certain amount of community involvement to foster a sense of community engagement and leadership in our students, as well as a mature and compassionate perspective on life outside the classroom.

The Unique Flex Program Encourages Extracurricular Pursuits

Our commitment to providing students with opportunities to grow personally and eventually professionally encompasses not only their academic life, but also their extracurricular activities as well. Our unique Flex program allows students to explore new and challenging hobbies and interests on a regular, bi-weekly basis.

We believe that grades aren’t the only important part of a good education

Students can choose from over a dozen subjects which take in the arts, academics, and athletics, including ceramics, chess, robotics, coding and much more. These enjoyable but challenging activities encourage students of all ages to work together and share a common interest with others. Our collective approach seeks to instill a sense of achievement and curiosity which challenges our students to explore a variety of areas and ultimately find a fulfilling subject which ignites creative ability.

Cultivating these unique interests can help students to find their passion and direction in life, while also building an extracurricular profile that will really impress admissions departments at top universities.
