History

Kells Academy was established in 1978 as the Westmount Learning Center by Ms. Irene Woods. It was founded as a practical application of tutoring in the classroom. The school began seeing larger enrollment numbers which ultimately led them to acquire its own building on De Maisonneuve West and Park Row West in CDN-NDG as of 1990. They also expanded with the acquisition of the Hydro-Québec building in 2004 that was situated on Cavendish Boulevard at the corner of De Maisonneuve, where the elementary school soon relocated. Enrollment grew as the number of foreign students increased, notably coming from
