Kuper Academy
History
It was established in 1988.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec the school attempted to hold its graduation ceremony for 2021 in a concert hall or in an outdoor space, but the government of Quebec did not allow either option.
Previously it educated until grade 11. After Bill 96 came into effect in 2022, the students who graduate from grade 11, who would then go to CEGEP, would need to take additional courses in French. The school then added grade 12 effective fall 2023, which would allow students to bypass CEGEP and directly enroll in colleges and universities. According to Salette, the speed to introduce grade 12, which was already being planned, was due to Bill 96.
Operations
The school has an anti-bullying program "Supporting Our Students" (SOS).
