Announcing Sport-Études at Kells
Joint sports academic program
Attention Athletes! Kells Academy is launching a Sport-Études program for grade 7 and 8 students in the Fall of 2025. This is thanks to the recommendation of Kells parent Joane Siksous, whose son is a competitive soccer player who will be returning to Kells next year to join the inaugural Kells Sport-Études cohort.
Sport-Etudes is a specialized educational program, designed for elite athletes who are pursuing high-performance athletic training while also completing their
academic studies.
Endorsed and recognized by the Quebec Ministry of Education, in partnership with provincial sports federations, the Sport-Etudes program is unique in North America. Our plan is to welcome 25 students each year and offer these selected student-athletes the option to balance rigorous athletic training with their schoolwork, ensuring that they can excel in both areas. Key features of the program will include flexible schedules, personalized support and partnerships with sports organizations.
This new program is yet another way that Kells Academy will empower its student athletes to succeed academically while also pursuing excellence in their sport, thus giving them the foundation to continue both to the next level of competition and higher education.

Fantastic Brains at Work - Showcasing Student Learning at Kells Elementary
If you had the chance to teach a child one thing, and only one, what would it be? Would you choose Music? Sports? Math? Science? Reading? It’s lucky that we don’t have to choose, but if we did, Dr. JoAnn Deak knows what she would pick. She has spent more than thirty years as an educator and psychologist and her wealth of knowledge and experience has led her to an answer. If she could only teach a child one thing, she would teach them about their brain.
Kells Academy Mathletes Celebrate Banner Year of Success
Kells Academy is celebrating another milestone in a standout year for its Math Competition Team. Six senior students from the team — Hyun Jung, Sthefany He Chen, Norah Yang, Yutong Han, Chumeng Yi, and Molly Dong — placed first among all participating Montreal schools (14 anglophone private QAIS schools) at the Canadian Team Math Competition, held at St. George’s School in April. This competition took place over a whole day and had three parts: team, individual, and relay. Originally announced as second place finishers, a scoring review later confirmed that the Kells team had in fact outscored their competitors by two points.
The Kells Academy Math Competition Team's most recent win was featured in an article in The Suburban. Read the full article here.
There’s No Place Like Kells for the Holidays - Catching Up with Grade 12 Grads
At this time of year, many Kells Grade 12 graduates are home for the holidays. On any given day in December, you’ll likely find a former Kells student dropping by the school to catch up with old friends and mentors. You might even find Kells alumni tucked away in a classroom, studying for their university exams. That’s because Kells feels like home to them, a place where they grew in confidence and skill and made lifelong friends. A common thread among the Grade 12 graduates I caught up with is that Kells not only guided them in choosing the right postsecondary path, but also helped them excel in it.
Ready, Set, Solve: Kells Math Competition Club Preps for Success
It takes drive and dedication to master a challenging concept, especially if you’re a grade 7 student practicing complex Math problems during your lunch break. For Kevin, a grade 7 student and member of the Math Competition Club at Kells, the extra effort is worth it. It’s his first year in Math Competition Club and he’s preparing to write the challenging Lagrange Contest in April. “Math is an intimidating subject, but I want to be the best of the best. And even if I’m not yet, I know I’m getting better.”
