Kells Scores Big in Canada Wide Math Competition

At the recently held contest administered by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing at the University of Waterloo, one of our grade 11 students, Howard (Haoran) Qin, tied for 1st place overall with the highest possible score.

Additionally, one of our grade 10 students, Hyeonji Kim, obtained the second highest provincial score on the Cayley competition in 2018, earning two exclusive invitations to intensive mathematics summer camps held at the University of Ottawa and the University of Waterloo. The majority of our senior students placed in the top 25% nationally with Kells ranked among the top performing private schools in the province.

Kells Academy places a strong emphasis on mathematics. In addition to offering students the option to follow advanced and individually-tailored curricula, students in middle and secondary school have the opportunity to participate in several challenging mathematics competitions throughout the academic year. These contests, administered by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing at the University of Waterloo, are a unique and enriching experience, allowing our students to compete both on an individual basis and as part of a team against more than 25,000 other secondary students across Canada and internationally.
